We recommend holding the pen at a steady 60 degrees or so because it is a bit more fidgety than some other, more expensive, brands.
One thing to be aware of that flustered some past users is that the Scanmarker Air can’t connect to two bluetooth devices at the same time. If you decide to move away from your computer to a mobile device, for example, you have to disconnect from your computer before trying to pair it to your mobile device as your mobile device won’t “see” it. Menu and Function Selection In case you have to scan mathematical formulas, logos or signatures, there is the possibility of saving them as images and to do so, you will need to specifically select the option from the app (Scan to doc / app > Scan as > Image). On the whole, for the price we would say it does a pretty good job as a read aloud scanning pen. What ages is the Scanmarker Air appropriate for? But does that low price tag translate into good value? We decided to find out by reviewing it and investigating what past users had to say about the device. All in all, it was very easy to hold and even when we had to hold it for long periods it really was pretty comfortable to hold. Scanmarker Air: Ease of Use Setting Up the ScanMarker AirThe 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. AUTO TRANSLATION: instantly scan and translate words or lines of text in over 40 different languages, including English, Austrian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Spanish French, German and more Like other reading pens, the Scanmarker Air is really built around OCR (optical character recognition) technology. As you scan a sentence, the device sort of takes a picture of the text and then software works to convert that picture into digital text that can, for instance, be translated or read out loud. Because we found it to be a little more sensitive to non-smooth hand movements and because it took some practice before we started seeing really good accuracy, we would probably only recommend this product to students 10 and up.
One issue we had, that relates to the Scanmarker Air not being a stand alone device, is that you’ll need an internet connection to use some features. For example, you’ll need to be connected to the net anytime you connect for the first time to a device, to activate the Scanmarker, and even for its translation ability.The device seems sensitive to jitters and users report having to spend time learning to scan with it properly (lining up text in the center of the tip, holding the pen and such), although like us once they learned how they saw fairly good accuracy in scanning. BLUETOOTH CONNNECTIVITY: seamlessly connect to any Android, iOS device and PC or Mac so you can start scanning text in no time
