PC-EXPO, June 28, 1994 -- Image Recognition Integrated Systems (I.R.I.S.)
and PRIMAX USA are pleased to announce the availability of a new OCR
solution intended for the every day use in the Office environment: The
DATAPEN

The DATAPEN is based on a totally new concept and is composed of the 2
following components:

** a compact, and easy to handle Pen scanner. This small reading device
shaped like a pen (see brochure) allows the reading of one line of text.
The Pen scanner has been designed by Primax and incorporates latest
advances derived from the handscanner technology.

** a powerful Text Recognition System allowing the efficient and real-time
recognition of scanned text. Based on its strong expertise in Intelligent
Character Recognition I.R.I.S. has produced a new ICR module called PCR.
for Pen Character Reading. Major improvement compared to existing ICR
technologies are incorporated in the PCR.

The Datapen is a device which reads and recognises text from magazines,
newspapers, books, etc...The text is inserted at the cursor position in
any Windows application. For instance, if you are working in Word for
Windows and you want to insert a few lines from the PC Magazine, just take
the Datapen, place the pen on the line to be read, move it on the line
from left to right. The text will immediately appear in Word for Windows
at the end of the scanning.
