I am very disappointed after receiving the goods. Not only it cannot translate anything I write to the computer, it fails to work - full stop. When you write and lift your pen, it still continue tracking your movement...so what you write become a line of meaningless drawing. The support email doesn't work, and respond are pretty much useless - I call around 12 UK time and the nice lady told me the support is out for Lunch. When I manage speak to the support person, the comment were 'yes this problem is very common'...hmm - why did I buy this product in the first place? I thought the expensive price justify good quality, but no, not at all. Do not buy this!! Keep away from this.

Everything is wrong with this device and the manufacturer should be ashamed to make the claims on the packaging. The software appears to just be a small preference window in OSX, which fails to even download the TIFF files the clip-on reader creates. It is nearly impossible to fix the reader to a piece of paper. The handwriting recognition software is supplied on a mini CD (why oh why do this? incredible in 2009) - it can't be used in any Apple laptop since the G3 Pismo even if it does contain a Mac program, which is highly doubtful reading the scant manual and not seeing it mentioned there.
If Amazon gave negative star ratings this would be a minus 5 - total waste of money on a Mac, and I would recommend you try one in a shop if you are considering it for Windows.
Basically if you think you need one then you are a victim of the hype and you won't be satisfied.

Overall the pen works well. The software is a bit quirky and takes some getting used to. You have to be very careful you set correctly the orientation of the reader with respect to the page (i.e. reader at top left centre or right of page). I find centre on a single sheet at a time is best else the reader slips and the line orientation goes haywire. You should write quite clearly to get the best script recognition results. Also you need to write in straight lines quite accurately or else your text gets scanned on to the wrong lines. The foreign language facility worked well when I tried it writing in German. I struggled to delete old notes from the pen but found you could delete them when you upload them. If you upload your converted notes to, say MS WORD, it is better to clear out the scanned notes or else the notes folders get clogged up with unwanted copies.
Although the device comes with spare pens, they are very short and I guess will soon run out, so I wonder where to get replacement pen inserts from and hope they will not be a rip off price.
