"...you need something that's both practical and cool. DocuPen fits the bill on both counts. This portable scanner is not much bigger than a pen, yet it can scan an entire letter-sized page of text or graphics in just four seconds."


Newspaper:

The New York Times

"Photocopiers work well for capturing images of conventional materials like book chapters and income tax returns. But if you want that image in digital form, for editing, e-mailing or just filing away on a disk, a scanner works better. A new hand-held scanner from Planon Systems Solutions, the DocuPen, can scan a page eight inches wide in a single sweep and store it in its memory to be downloaded to a computer at your convenience."

Toronto Star

"Tools for the trendiest" "...Planon System Solutions Inc. has developed a device that's the size of a pen that can scan and saves pages from documents through an up-to-down sweeping motion.""

"A sci-fi inspired pen-size scanner that can capture an entire page of text and graphics in four seconds and can store as many as 100 pages in 2 megabytes of flash memory. Real-world business app: Like a pocket-size photographic memory, the pen scanner lets road warriors capture everything from business cards to, ahem, classified documents that can't be copied."

Business 2.0 www.business2.com
"This little device is the fastest and easiest way yet to take copious notes from the road. The pen scanner is so double agent. Though this one is closer to the size of a quill, or to one of those gag pens with some kitschy gewgaw at the end, it can still be easily stashed in a purse or briefcase. Portable scanners are no breaking news, I realize, but what made me look twice at the DocuPen is its ability to scan a full page of text and graphics in four to six seconds -- a Seabiscuit-like pace."

Forbes.com www.forbes.com
"No heavier than a pen and nearly as long as two standard-size pens, this light and incredibly portable document scanner certainly shows promise when it comes to creating images of documents where the quality of the image isn't crucial."


The Globe and Mail www.globetechnology.com

"Remarkably tiny; has memory capacity for more than 100 scanned pages of text; extremely portable." "It will indeed fit in a pocket, though, and it's a marvel of miniaturization." "After a couple of dozen scans I was a pro, able to scan perfectly pretty much every time." "While the image quality of the DocuPen is pretty basic, it the highest quality portable scanner I've come across so far. It's also straightforward to use after you've put in a little practic. The DocuPen is ultra-portable, and it gets the job done for people who need quick scans of text, photos and graphics."

MarketNews www.marketnews.ca

"…and it appeals to various groups, such as business executives, lawyers, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, sales people, construction workers, architects, engineers, accountants, insurance adjusters, government, teachers, and students."
