Description

≪ RTI ID = 0.0 > {PEN SCANNER}

The present invention relates to a PEN scanner, and more particularly, to a function of scanning a document such as a text in a convenient pen-like size and playing it by voice.

Currently, scanners that capture images of characters or graphics printed on the ground have been developed in various forms. The pen scanner has the ability to scan anything smaller and print and share data. You can think of it as a portable scanner or you can scan the size of the data to be scanned with one button. You can choose to share buddies, surf and cloud storage with a side-by-side sensor display. If the text is stanzas, it changes into a text document of Word or Excel. Because you can freely scan in a more diverse environment, the work rate increases when you use it by the workers or students. It is also easy to use by people with visual impairments as well as ordinary people, so that the text in the book is spoken aloud.

Previously invented products only had the ability to be scanned and stored on the device. Also, since the size of the scan is limited, there was a great inconvenience. Our goal is to create a complete pen scanner by adding various functions. We want to provide a smart pen scanner.

It's a portable scanner that brings a small look. The display is attached to the side, which contains various functions. You can select the size of the space you want to scan. It changes the text, such as documents stapled by camera, into Word and Excel. It also stores scanned documents and stores them in the cloud and sns. Finally, there is a speaker that converts the text to speech.

You can scan documents at the right size by pressing the up button. Beside The sensor display allows you to share, print, and store your cloud. If you scan text, you can convert it to Word or Excel text document. more Because you can freely scan in various environments, If people use it, the work rate can be increased. And not only ordinary people Visually impaired people can easily use the text in the book to change the voice have.
