As a rule of thumb, the device can scan text that is less than 0.4” wide (the effective scanning width of the device). How easy is it to hold? The Scanmarker Air will read font sizes between 6 and 24 point. This is a pretty wide range of fonts and fairly useful since almost all adult (that usually use size 8-12 fonts) and children’s books (that typically use size 14-16 fonts) will fit inside the scanning area. But the most interesting feature is the Interactive Reading which seems to be able to animate what’s written in certain books. By certain books, I mean those specifically designed for Interactive Reading and at the moment, they’re available just in Mainland China. The battery life of the IrisPen is rated to last for up to 4 hours of continuous use, while to charge it, it will take about two and a half hours (the first time, you will need to recharge the battery for 5 hours).

Note: Inside the case, the C-Pen Reader is equipped with a 600 MHz CPU and 4 GB of internal memory life. It is also supported by a number of third party software and services that you might use for work or leisure, such as Word, Excel, Gmail and even Facebook, should you want to quote something to your friends. The Scanmarker app also gives you two options, scan to the Scanmarker application and scan to external applications. If you choose the latter, you can then scan to a wide variety of supported tools, like Word, Excel, Gmail and Facebook, or send things to the Cloud (Google Drive and iCloud, for example) which is cool and pretty useful if you need to save something for later use.
