3.0 out of 5 stars Pinyin, please., April 30, 2006

This review is from: English-Chinese Scan Pen PenPower Super Scaneye (Electronics)
The pen works great for scanning Chinese characters to get the English translation and vis-versa. However, my big BIG complaint is that there is no Pinyin given for the translation. If Alestron Inc. would be so kind as to make an add-on Pinyin dictionary, that would be wonderful. Secondly, the pen will not read outdoors when the sun is out, it is very sensitive to excessive lighting. The pen does come with several to-English dictionaries, such as French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese, ect. So that is good. I had trouble getting the included software to translate correctly. The only way I can get it to show the characters is to save my translated file as html and load it in IE using HZ encoding.

2.0 out of 5 stars I tried and returned., January 20, 2007
This review is from: English-Chinese Scan Pen PenPower Super Scaneye (Electronics)
I have to say that i tested in Hong Kong, and the biggest problem is that just recognize or simplified chinese or tradicional chinese (depend of the model that you bought). Finally i bougth a cheaper model with no LCD screen that need conection to the computer, but have the flexibility of simplified or traditional, in the same package.

Also both model have the problem that only recognize dark letters in a white paper, dont try to scan for example yellow letters in blue paper because doesnt work, just traditional books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, November 13, 2011
This review is from: English-Chinese Scan Pen PenPower Super Scaneye (Electronics)
My daughter was leaving for Shanghai as an American exchange student for the semester. My wife thought this pen would come in handy for her, but it turned out to be a total disaster. The pen mis-read even the simplest text. We tried on different type of paper, news print, book print, copy print. We slowed the scanning speed to a snail's crawl, none of it mattered. I'm not surprised it's not available for sale any more on Amazon, what a piece of junk.
