5.0 out of 5 stars It really works!, 14 Aug 2008
By J. Burnand (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This Dane-Elec Zpen has now become an essential business tool that I use every day. All my hand written notes can now be converted into an MS Word document at the press of a button. Hard to review this item without sounding like a computer geek but it must save me 60% to 80% of my time in typing. Very easy to use and truly brilliant technology. Once you see it being used you will want to buy one. Simple as that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nightmare to find refills, 9 Nov 2008
By S. Kaye "sammykaye" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a brilliant tool, easy to use, time saving and the handwriting to RTF recognition software I would say is about 95% accurate with my writing (which varies from neat to scribble).

I have one complaint though, the refill in the pen only lasted for 6 weeks of lectures (15 hours per week) and then I had to order replacements from the US because finding anywhere that sells them over here (Schmidt 628 if you're interested) seemed impossible. This means my pen has been out of action for over a week.

In the meantime I tracked down some refills in Selfridges on Oxford St (more by chance than anything). They are Parker Vector 3-in-1 refills and I find them much smoother to write with. I thought I should share this info to save everyone else the hassle I went through.

All in all it's a great tool and would've got 5 starts, but I wish I'd been given a spare refill rather than being shocked at how quickly it ran out and the pen being useless till I found replacements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for students, 5 Oct 2008
By KM "KM" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
I bought this for myself for note taking and ended up giving it to my daughter as she has jus started university, It works really well and the conversion is not bad either just a few things need to be ammended, slight problem with converting diagrams but save lots of time not having to type up notes, Many of her uni friends now want one.

My daughter now admits this is a better purchase than the new laptop that she bought having been told she would need one, she now realises that carrying a laptop around is not really that feasible but this little product just fits in any pocket and can be used in any environment and then taken home and popped into any type of computer laptop or desktop.
