What's great about it: convenience, lower price than the others
What's not so great: doesn't take my tests for me
I have only been using this for a couple of months. I am in school for nursing and I have to say. . . This product cuts my study time in half. I don't have to type anything. I can have my slides, book, and notes in front of me and scan all three in conjunction with one another to make one study sheet for tests. It scans almost as fast as I can type, without the whole typing part. Which is really nice. It also scan over yellow highlighter. Which is super convenient! I wish I had this for my other degrees.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: Wish it had more shortcut buttons on it.
This is a really useful tool. It is not perfect and has a slight learning curve. It does exactly what it says it does and it is really easy to install and use right away. I do have to go back and edit a little bit but it is still much faster than typing out a book verbatim for outlines and notes especially if the book is dry or technical.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It's so easy to use
What's not so great: The fact that it seems my experience was not an isolated one
I was hesitant at first to purchase this scanner because of the negative reviews I found here. I still went ahead and bought it anyhow. And then when I received it and got it working, it'd show nothing but garbled text. I thought, "oh, just like some rewiews said." I called BestBuy.com to return it but then telephone rep suggested perhaps it was defective. I hadn't thought of that. So I got a replacement. I wasn't expecting anything different for results but, boy, was I wrong. This thing works like a charm. I am so happy I didn't give up on it. Perhaps the delivery carrier was to blame for the defective one, but whatever. This hand-held scanner's worth the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Scans text quickly and inserts into MS Word
What's not so great: Tends to misread some characters, confuses beginning and ending letters
I purchased this to take notes of important material for school reference. It does a pretty good job at reading the words, only an occasional glitch or two. The directions leave a bit to be desired, but overall it's a useful tool and I am satisfied with it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
