 Not that great October 2, 2004

After two days with the IRISpen, and many, many attempts trying to make it work properly, I found I could type my notes from my textbook much faster than dealing with the IRISpen. The pen does what it says, but can also make a mess of what you are trying to scan. When you are reading and studying, you need a flow of concentration. You can get a flow of concentration by highlighting text and/or typing what you see as important in the text. However, if you are using the IRISpen, you are concentrating on seeing if it did its job and fixing its mistake.
The pen also lockups and causes Windows and Word to act funny, which is not reassuring.
I gave it a shot and decided to stop wasting my time and just type my notes the old fashion way. I even conducted a little test, and sure enough my notes were clearer and took less time when I typed the same information I was struggling to scan.
I am thinking about looking into the hand-held scanners... but sadly those don't look much better.
Think twice... and be ready to return if things don't work out. Mine is going back in the morning.

I did hours of research on hand held scanners and almost did not purchase ANY do to all the confusion. I took a chance and Bought the IRISpen Executive scanner. In only a few minutes I had the software loaded (painless) and was scanning material from everything I could get my hands on. Once I learned how to hold it for my hand posture (5 minutes)it was a snap. I have read other reviews and can not figure out why anyone would not want this... it is fantastic. It is much faster then typing. In a few minutes I had scanned pages of material that I had collected for over a year. I am not a techy kind of guy so this was awesome. I give it 5 stars! I can only scratch my head If someone cannot figure this out.

The technical specs page claims this product can run on
Windows XP, ME, 2000 or 98
Mac OS X up to 10.3 and Mac OS 9.x
I attempted to install the software on Windows XP Home Edition and was presented with a dialog box which read: "The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing."
The response from IRIS was "The driver 100% safe and compatible. It will not cause any instabilities. Click continue anyways to install the software."
I chose not to install the software on the PC.
I attempted to install the software on our Mac Powerbook G3 with OS 9.2 and I was presented with a dialog box which stated that the software required X 10.

I found the orignal Iris Pen II under Windows 2000 far superior to the Iris Pen Executive under Microsoft XP. Both the Iris Pen II and this new design does not integrate as well with Microsoft XP. Aligning the executive type pen with the text is far more difficult than with the II-type pen. The device does function and is faster than typing. However, the performance of the product has degraded under the XP operating system.
EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!! September 27, 2004

I have had this for over a year, and after a little getting practice, it works great. It is almost like highlighting text, and it works with any application.
