Digital technology has made it possible for us to have iPens or the intelligent pens, which not only write but also save documents, convert written text to digital format on the PC. mpen is one such product that looks quite promising. It helps you focus on your reading and not waste time over looking for meanings in a thesaurus or a dictionary. It also helps you get immediate translation and you can continue to read without losing your train of thought. This hand-held pen shaped scanner lets you translate words in seconds and the meaning appears on the display in seconds. The device not only reads and translates but also saves and sends text within seconds. The m-pen comes in gold, iceblue, graphite and red colours.
At the push of a button you can extend the screen and the sensor. The interface is very user friendly and makes all the functions accessible. It also has a built-in voice feature that reads out the pronunciation and meaning of a word or a sentence. mpen recognizes over 300,000 words and offers numerous language combinations. The m-pen is designed for users of both left and right hands. The product is also very light at 100g and can easily fit into your pocket. It can capture up to 3000 pages of data, and an Opticard and a built in Character bar let you enter text manually. Mpen uses infrared (IrDA) or the USB to transfer data and you can set your preferences as well. With the mpen you can bring in scanner pens to your office or study and read texts in books, newspapers and other printed material. Only, you will have to wait till the product enters the market and the price isn’t known yet either.
