Advantages over the IRISPen:
- For me decisive: The light, which is activated when you scan to illuminate the Scriptures, is pleasant white and not too bright In the IRIS Pen is red and so bright that it burns in the retina after a few scanned lines you. eyes zukneift.
- The C Pen is better in the hand and feels pleasantly during scanning. The IRIS Pen feels a little scratchy on the paper.
- A function key is available and programmable (never with me on Enter)
- The software offer is extensive (including an add-on to common mistakes - for example, typical of a typeface - to automatically correct a printable Funktionspad with programmable scan patterns (C-PAD), Android Apps)
- Bluetooth function and android integration (the setting certainly not to everyone's liking.)
Mistakes both scanner pins relatively few. After a few scanned and compared pages is my subjective impression that the error from the C-Pen mostly by fast spell checking (in Citavi or Word) are correctable. Whereas the IRISPen like special characters in words or at the end of a line installs, which must be corrected manually.
Overall, the error rate sufficiently low and I do not want to miss the stylus. The increase in flexibility over other types of scanners can, overlook about it. Scanning texts with underlining works well if you have not just a massive painted over or circled.
I use the pen usually via USB and Citavi.
Incidentally, I have ordered two models, because at the first of the battery did not work (had scanned both C-Pen with the same reliability). In both traditions the carton has been opened. And it is certainly not wrong, the pins easy to order and to test themselves rather than reading long reviews. ;)
