DocuPen RC800

Have you imagined scanners to be as gigantic as photocopying machines and then suddenly become as small as pen? I have. In fact, I would never have realized it had I not thought about scanning an entire book about a year ago. Consider this: how could you scan a book fully, capturing all the edges and sides, not to mention the entire data, without compromising office productivity?

That's when a colleague of mine and I researched on scanners that would make our workload light and at the same time, would very much impress peers and bosses with our output. We came upon a pen scanner, the DocuPen RC800. At a glance, you would not think at all that it is a scanner; it looks like an executive pen with its silver casing. But then, once you sweep it across the page, lo and behold -- it captures the date you need...in full color! This is one of the most amazing technological breakthroughs today, I must say. Imagine, making compact the functions of a bulky scanner in this handheld gadget and for only about a few hundred dollars. The pen is powered by batteries and has a roller feature responsible for the smooth capture of page or sheet information.
