Hurray for technology!
My C-Pen arrived today! I ordered it last week. It's a handheld scanner. You drag it across individual lines in a book, and it scans the text and OCRs it into a document. I tried it just now, and it works great! I'm really impressed. This will make taking notes much easier, and I'm hoping it will make my reading more productive and help me churn out projects a bit quicker. Plus it looks kind of like something from Star Trek, so I can pretend I'm in the 24th century when I use it. ;)
This thing sounds awesome.
