"...Planon
System's DOCUPEN is arguably the most innovative new product
in the field of portable scanning.
The DocuPen is a super slim 8in long pen-sized full page scanner that
is small enough and light enough as just 2oz to fit in a jacket pocket,
and yet powerful enough to capture large volumes of text and graphics.
With practice (and a steady hand) the DocuPen can scann a full page of
text in about four seconds.
Planon Systems has worked hard on the design of the DocuPen which, by
virtue of its ability to capture pages of text at a time, really does
establish a new class of portable scanner ideally suited for business
travellers,
The DocuPen is a pleasure to use, and definitively has the "wow" factor.
But make no mistake, the DocuPen is a serious and useful business tool..."

"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." |
 |
"…even
the smallest desktop scanners need to remain, well, on your desk.
The DocuPen is a portable pen-size scanner that can hold up to
100 pages…" |
 |
"The
pen might have finally met its match." "…the
DocuPen can store up to 100 pages of scanned text. Viewing the
digitized pages requires a simple hook-up to any Windows PC equipped
with a USB port." |
 |
"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." |
 |
"...it's
different - it's 8 inches long that scans the width of a page
and is only half an inch thick. Think of the DocuPen as a big
person's wand. Weighing in at only 2 oz, it easily fits into
your coat pocket." "...its use is more for business
applications such as accountants and lawyers, mortgage brokers,
architects, insurance adjusters and teachers." |
  |
"Magic
Wand" "The DocuPen scanner frees on-the-go professionals
from the tyranny of the office..."
"...the
smallest full-page portable scanner available...""...wave
this wand and it can work magic..."
"...As
for the quality of the scans, it's surprisingly good for
a deivce so portable..."
|
 |
"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."
|
 |
"It's
a pen sized scanner, just take your page, press the button
and just glide the pen over the page.
And it
will actually scan it into memory...connect it to your laptop
or computer and it uploads the page, you can actually take
the text and put it into Word and text recognition will set
it so you can play with the text...it's very light, very
light weight..."
|
 |
"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." |
 |
"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."
|
 |
"…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." |
 |
"The
DocuPen scans along its length, which means it can scan pictures
and signatures as well as print. And,
the cutting edge tool can scan a page in four seconds and store
up to 100 pages in its memory until they are downloaded onto
a computer and printed." "Planon's specialty has
been document management for drawings."
|
 |
"Like
a squeegee across your windshield, the DocuPen from Planon
System Solutions picks up words and graphics right off the
printed page. A one page scan takes about 4 seconds."
"Unlike
other models of handheld scanners that capture text word-by-word,
DocuPen captures the whole page in seconds."
"DocuPen
could be useful for anyone needing a portable scanner - students,
lawyers, graphic artists, real estate agents - even light
office use."
|
 |
 |
"Clutter
Killer"
"Unlike
earlier pen-sized scanners, which scan text line by line,
the DocuPen allows you to scan whiole pages of text or images
with one swipe of the scanner."
"...the
scan quality is impressive."

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."
