This product was a good idea and I have used it with some benefit to make notes from published books. The outcome has been very mixed. It is necessary to edit every paragraph as there are always mistakes. The pen seems to have dificulty with the letter i. Words like saving and municipal never come out right.

Rubbish product. Looks cheap and flimsy. The thin card pack looks as though it should contain a CD but all you get is a note telling you to download the software - which I did and then followed the instructions very carefully - including connecting the special Bluetooth dongle at the right time (why isn't my already installed Bluetooth setup adequate?). Switched on the scanner pen and ---- nothing. Then a deathly Cx000000? message came up and the computer was all but rendered useless as the message reappear every few seconds, even after cancellation. I did manage a System Restore so was able to start again.I tried a second instal yesterday and, after a lot of coaxing, managed to get the scanner working - not as I would have hoped, though. On shutdown I again got numerous messages warning me of failed this, that and the other, Cx000 type messages and a refusal to shut down. Eventually it did power off.This morning I was greeted with a blank screen. After a switch off and restart a message came up that Windows was unable to restart, did I want to do a repair? You bet your sweet **** I did.After an hour of not appearing to do very much, the message asking if I wanted to do a System Restore came up.After another long period of anxiety, Windows started and seems now to be OK but that cursed Iris Pen 7 Air is never going near it (or any of my other machines ) again.Windows 7 HP

Very happy with this product. It does what is "says on the tin". Is it 100% perfect all of the time? No but it is getting better and better the more I use it and get use to how it likes to be used. It saves me a lot of time for which I am grateful. I would recommend it to anyone who has to quote or reference text from books.I am still using and very happy with this. Use it via PC, and Ipad.

I am very very disappointed with this product. I have 4 apple devices. I was able to download the app and pair the pen via Bluetooth with no problems for both my iPhone and my iPad. HOWEVER - the pen would not pair with either my Macbook or my MacPro and the software crashes every time I try to scan directly onto a word document OR I try to save the the scanned text using the software provided. I have absolutely no functionality. I've spend hours trying to get the damn thing to work but it just will not. I emailed the company CANON and apparently I will get a response in 3 to 5 days. This is not good enough. I checked their website so see if there are any compatibility problems with my version of OS X and apparently there are not.Shoddy product and poor support. Don't waste your money!

Works for my iphone but not on my mac ! URGENT need for an update to make it work on mac

Perfect. Only it struggles when applied to smart phone ( iPhone6) but excellent when applying it on my PC.

Works very well. Took a few minutes to get used to how to use it - the trick is not to scan too slowly. Just one gripe: the Android app will not run on my tablet (currently running Android 5.1), so I can't use the pen with it at the moment. If they can fix that I'll gladly bump up my review to 5 stars.

a very easy to use - i am happy with this buy
