NylabonePower Chew Double Bone Long Lasting Chew Toy for Dogs X-Large - 50+ lbs.

I bought this item as I am a college student that has some writing challenges due to having Asperger’s so most of my handwriting is illegible so I rely on typing my notes. While it’s great to type, there are times when I need to study where typing wears out my fingers and it takes a lot of time to decipher and type what I need.When I bought the product there were some issues with scanning too fast, curve/wrapping texts (which is mostly my fault as I have unstable hands in general) and sometimes a word or two is missed. Although it’s not a huge drawback to me, to some it may cause some issues if you rely on accurate readings for a project or other forms of data. It is a learning curve in general like most devices.I recommend it to those who have some challenges with typing or writing in general and want something that can scan to a word processing program that doesn't mind some minor scanning mishaps from time to time.

This is a pretty good product, and surprisingly well to a degree. The software itself is relatively intuitive, and the accuracy really depends on the language. So this is the good of the pen, and worth bringing up first. The Text scan (straight up OCR) is pretty good, the scan mode (as if you want to scan without the OCR) is pretty awful. That's pretty universal. Still, you technically can attempt to scan something as a picture and throw it into word..The problem is it really depends on who you are, and what you're using it for. If you're mostly going to scan English-like languages. I'm defining that as languages that use mostly English-like characters, it'll probably perform really well. I'm studying Japanese, though, and this is where it has a lot of problems.In general, if you're scanning straight up Japanese (no furagana), then you're going to get about 80% or so accuracy rate. It has a lot of problems with stuff like っつ、where it can't tell the difference between a small tsu and a larger one. Means you'll likely spend a lot of time correcting. Even worse, if you try to scan vertical text, it won't work well. I tried to find this in the settings, as I'd expect them to account for that, but couldn't find it anywhere. If someone else found it, I'd appreciate learning where it's at. Even worse, and this is probably the worst part of the device, is that it is absolutely horrid on furagana-laced text. Pretty much unusable in those situations.I have mixed feelings about the device and the usability of it. If I'm going to pull a lot of information from a book and throw it into Anki/etc, I'd likely first start by using a flatbed scanner, scanning the whole thing, then running it through FineReader to pull out the text that way. This can be very time consuming. My hope, when purchasing this, was that I can snip specific words out of a text, add them quickly into Anki, and go on with my life. I may still be able to do this some, but it won't be nearly as fast as English.Which goes back to English. If you're using mostly English-like languages, you're likely to get an accuracy of over 90%. I tried a variety of different things to scan and here's roughly what I found (<CR> Denotes carriage return. Format is: <Exactly what's said> => <What scanner gives>):1) Japanese with Hiragana - Hiragana Times/etc (Took 2 scans, took the better of the two) - 公園だけでなく、。。 => #園だけでなく <CR><CR> てつズA.2) Japanese without Hiragana - Read Real Japanese (Took 4 scans, took the better of the 4) - その腕をわたしの肩にまわし => その腕をわたしの勵こまね 一3) Japanese Manga - vertical text test (Took 2 scans) - ずっと伝えたかった => 1っと^龙たかった** I also tried other mangas, and none worked well, maybe 15% accuracy, at best.4) Chinese book I have. I can't read chinese, so here's just a straight output of 1 scan. I did compare it to the original, and do calligraphy so I can tell subtle differences in characters, and it got one kinda okay, but none right: 是武氣的主要务钟5) English - R in action (technical book. Took 1 scan) - When you're creating a package, it's a good idea to include one or more datasets that => vVhen you re creating a package, it's a good idea to include one or more datasets thatAs you can tell from the above. It's marginally okay with some Japanese, but requires a lot of corrections and you can't have furagana. Furthermore, the vertical writing recognition is really quite awful. Chinese is equally as bad. With English, it's at least marginally okay.To the developers of the product: I think you're on to something with this pen. I do like the concept, and I do like how well it works. Accuracy needs to be improved on English some, but Japanese support needs a boatload of work. Honestly, I'm fine with helping with some of this. I think it's a worthwhile product, and definitely would like to see Japanese better supported in this.

I'm an academic and this is a great device. Caveat: when I got mine, it would not stay connected to my computer. I filed a request for assistance on their web page (as per instructions) and they got back to me within a few hours. We set up a phone appointment, and in less than 10 minutes they corrected the problem, and I've had zero difficulties since. Now, with that caveat, here is my review: this is a very targeted device. It has one primary job, and it does it splendidly. That job is to copy text from the book or paper you are reading (or from a Kindle: it works flawlessly with kindle paperwhite reader) from the page, into your notes. It will scan into Scrivener, into Word, into Pages, into plain text. It does so quickly and accurately and reliably. Why would you pay to have that done? Why not just type the quotes in yourself?Well, you could, but this is so much faster and more accurate. And when you are doing initial research on a project, your first weeks involve little more gathering quotes and possible notes from others. You can spend an entire day in the library doing nothing but collecting relevant snippets for your paper, and during those long hours, this device is a godsend. You get so much more done in so much less time. You scan in your quote (maybe even a paragraph or two) in no more time than it would take you to highlight it. Then type in your comments and cross-references and the whole thing is already sitting in your notes, and so what, in earlier days would have been your highlights and your marginalia are suddenly already filed away and they are both searchable text-- so you can actually find that quote again when you need it. Brilliant. Especially if you are working with library texts that you cannot highlight, this is great. Pros: speed, accuracy, battery life, workload reduction, faster research and writing: all plus plus plus. The only con, and it's a reach: This is not a device for older texts-- I am thinking here of anything 18th century or before--even some 19th century. Like any OCR scanner, the software simply cannot read the older fonts. Additionally, you should be aware that the pen lights up strongly as it scans and transfers text, so any text the library will not let you photograph with a flash will not be available for use with this pen either. Also, this is a text only device. It will not scan formulae or images. But even with that sort of very limited limit, this thing is worth its weight in gold to any academic or student. I've a dear young man in my life who is headed off to university this year, and I will absolutely be purchasing a second one of these to send with him. I don't doubt he'll put some miles on the thing.
