The C-Pen Core software does not display the text you scan. The scanned text will be inserted at the cursor position. This means that you can scan text into any standard program.

This is an example on how to scan text into MS Word.

− First check that the C-Pen Core status windows reports that your C-Pen is connected.

− Start MS Word.

− Place the cursor where you want the text to appear. Do NOT click anywhere else as this will move the cursor and make your program window “passive”.

− Place the tip of the C-Pen a few millimetres before the first character of the text.

Press the C-Pen gently towards the paper and start moving it along the text line.

Try to keep a steady line! Lift the C-Pen from the paper when you have scanned the last character.

− The text you just scanned will instantly be inserted into MS Word.

The text is fully editable, e.g. you can change font type and size in MS Word to customise the text. There is a video on the website that describes how it works in more detail.

Note that there is a small automatic trigger at the tip of the C-Pen. This activates the scanning when the C-Pen is pressed against the paper. It is important that the trigger is pressed in during the complete scan.

The automatic trigger is shown in the picture to the right.
