Summary
The mobile, self-contained, hand-held InfoScan™TS Elite scanning pen allows you to scan, store, define, and hear printed text while on the go. Easily fits in your pocket or purse. With an easy to use touch-screen and icon-based menu, it stores up to 20,000 lines (500 pages) of text at a time, provides American Heritage® English Dictionary definitions, and even reads scanned text aloud. You can scan now, transfer the scanned text to a PC later.
| The Infoscan TS Elite scanning pen makes digital note-taking as easy as using a standard highlighter. |
Instead of feeding coins to a copy machine, dragging your laptop around, or going nuts trying to key in your hastily-scrawled hand-written copy of source material, just use this note-taking pen to pick up the material directly and store it in the pen. Then transfer to your PC later when you're back at home base.

How it works
| 
Inside the tip of the Scanning Pen: WizCom InfoScan TS Elite is a highly sophisticated electronic eye that helps simplify your life. This eye enables you to scan different types of information from the printed page into your scanning pen.

The Scanning Pen: WizCom InfoScan TS Elite processes this information via Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and performs other subsequent tasks so you can use that information more easily. You can:
- Transfer to PC, PDA, or Smartphone. View stored information on the integrated LCD display and easily transfer data to any PC, PDA or Smartphone via standard USB or infra-red connections.
- Edit. Use any Windows application to work with the text you have scanned and transferred.
- Scan foreign languages (not just English). The Scanning Pen: WizCom InfoScan TS Elite scans and recognizes French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. It does not translate these languages into English, but it does perform OCR on their character sets and combine those to recognize words in those languages.
- Listen to scanned paragraphs.

Memory Flush
- The default for all WizCom pens is to flush all files from the pen so when you send stored files to the PC, there are no more files on the pen.
- If you uncheck "Flush" in the Pen-PC File Transfer Settings in the QuickLink Pen Elite Desktop, the files will not be flushed from the pen. But over time, the pen's memory will become full.
- You can delete any file from the pen by using the "Delete File" function in Scan and Store

FAQs
- How accurate is it? Answer: It's 97% accurate
-
How hard is it to use?
Answer: If you have good dexterity, it's easy to use. How much dexterity do you need? Here's a simple test. Grab a text highlighter, and see if you can draw a straight line of highlighting in a newspaper or magazine. If so, you are good to go! If not, you are going to find the pen difficult to use.
-
Does it really read to you?
Answer: You can't just wave it across a page and hear James Earl Jones reading the text. After you complete scanning a line or word, the pen recognizes the characters and looks up the words in its internal dictionary. It then can pronounce them in sequence.
