Scanning translation pen solution

How the scanning pen works. What does it do? So ZTRON Scanning Pen Solution will take you to know this very popular pen.

ZTRON Scanner Pro

The hardware we sent this time is also a scanning pen that can closely interact with our own applications.

Imagine that when you read books, especially paper books, you often come across golden sentences that you want to extract. The electronic version can also copy and paste new notes, while the paper version can only copy or take photos. One of the pain points that Evernote Scanner solves is the extraction problem. I got the Pro version of the Suchuang scanning pen. In terms of appearance, the most striking thing is not the scanned pen tip, but the huge screen on the pen.

ScanPen Pro-Screen

The size of this screen is 2.98 inches. Through pen tip scanning combined with OCR algorithm, handwritten or printed characters are converted into editable text, and then synchronized to the bound Evernote account. Whether it is a paper book, an electronic paper book like Kindle, or even an LCD screen like iPad, you can easily scan the excerpt.

It should be noted that although it recognizes handwriting and printing, it has strict requirements on scanning technology. For example, the scanning pen must maintain an angle of 0 ~ 30° with the text to be scanned, and the scanning surface should not be too smooth, otherwise the scanning pen will slip easily.

Maybe you noticed that in addition to the power button, there are volume adjustment buttons and speaker openings on the fuselage, and there is even a Bluetooth switch in the internal settings. This is because in addition to excerpts, it can also read words and texts aloud. If you are worried about the sound affecting others, you can also connect a Bluetooth headset, or directly plug in a USB-C headset.

Seeing this, I think many readers may already know the actual usage scenarios of this translation pen. This is a smart hardware that is more suitable for learning scenarios or student groups: it can scan and translate words, which is very suitable for English learning; secondly, it can also scan and record printed handwriting on paper materials/electronic ink screens/LCD/OLED screens Fonts are very suitable for error excerpts or material accumulation; finally, the recording-to-text function is very suitable for reviewing classroom records.

For office scenarios, I don’t think there is much advantage: First, the input speed of the scanner is not too fast. For office “staff”, a better choice is to use a copier to copy pictures, and then batch ORC processing; as for scanning The translation function, except for specific posts, most users do not use this function; only the final recording-to-text function, especially the synchronization to the E group creation application, can improve office efficiency.

Just for the function of recording to text, I don't recommend Jianzuang Scan Translator Pro. Another smart hardware launched by Group Creation—EverREC is a better choice, and it is more cost-effective. Since last year, Evernote has released a series of smart hardware, all relying on AI technology, and finally returned to the existing application functions of Evernote, thereby driving the sales of its own note members. This "bundle sales" method can not only increase the user stickiness of its own products, but also better serve users through the combination of software and hardware.

Recently, Notes has also added the "Add Video" function in Super Notes. Will it expand from text and voice to video in the future, and launch related hardware?
