Caveat: when I got mine, it would not stay connected to my computer. I filed a request for assistance on their web page (as per instructions) and they got back to me within a few hours. We set up a phone appointment, and in less than 10 minutes they corrected the problem, and I've had zero difficulties since. Now, with that caveat, here is my review: this is a very targeted device. It has one primary job, and it does it splendidly. That job is to copy text from the book or paper you are reading (or from a Kindle: it works flawlessly with kindle paperwhite reader) from the page, into your notes. It will scan into Scrivener, into Word, into Pages, into plain text. It does so quickly and accurately and reliably. Why would you pay to have that done? Why not just type the quotes in yourself? Well, you could, but this is so much faster and more accurate. And when you are doing initial research on a project, your first weeks involve little more gathering quotes and possible notes from others. You can spend an entire day in the library doing nothing but collecting relevant snippets for your paper, and during those long hours, this device is a godsend. You get so much more done in so much less time. You scan in your quote (maybe even a paragraph or two) in no more time than it would take you to highlight it. Then type in your comments and cross-references and the whole thing is already sitting in your notes, and so what, in earlier days would have been your highlights and your marginalia are suddenly already filed away and they are both searchable text-- so you can actually find that quote again when you need it. Brilliant. Especially if you are working with library texts that you cannot highlight, this is great. Pros: speed, accuracy, battery life, workload reduction, faster research and writing: all plus plus plus. The only con, and it's a reach: This is not a device for older texts-- I am thinking here of anything 18th century or before--even some 19th century. Like any OCR scanner, the software simply cannot read the older fonts. Additionally, you should be aware that the pen lights up strongly as it scans and transfers text, so any text the library will not let you photograph with a flash will not be available for use with this pen either. Also, this is a text only device. It will not scan formulae or images. But even with that sort of very limited limit, this thing is worth its weight in gold to any academic or student. I've a dear young man in my life who is headed off to university this year, and I will absolutely be purchasing a second one of these to send with him. I don't doubt he'll put some miles on the thing. Review: Invaluable tool for a PhD candidate - This Scanmarker is just phenomenal. Setting up the device on windows is simple (you have to use the dongle provided not bluetooth) and using the device with apps like Microsoft Word is even simpler. It holds a charge well (a few days depending on the amount of use), and I use my Scanmarker regularly when doing research and writing my literature review for my PhD dissertation. It makes note taking from hardcopy books/articles very easy and time efficient. The device is also compatible with Android and iOS devices; whereby, it connects via bluetooth and not the dongle (like on windows). It allows to you to skip a line or create a space when scanning, a very innovative and convenient feature. It does require a little bit of technique to use, but you get the hang of it quite easily. If there are any errors when scanning, you can always re-scan the particular line or sentence (or edit the text). I love the fact that you can almost instantaneously see what you are scanning appear on the screen as "editable" text. It scans directly onto Microsoft word as text that can be edited. The device can also detect text in other languages and scan those as well. The support from the manufacturer this exceptional, they provide speedy responses and feedback. Overall, this is in indispensable and invaluable device for any research-oriented professional or student. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01N07J2AE | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 4,436 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00798304391268 | | Item Weight | 0.06 Pounds | | Standard Sheet Capacity | 1 | | UPC | 798304391268 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Scanmarker - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Item Weight:** 27.22 g - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** Scanmarker Air - **Optical Sensor Technology:** CCD - **Product Dimensions:** 5"D x 0.9"W x 0.7"H - **Resolution:** 300 dpi - **Scanner Type:** Text - **Standard Sheet Capacity:** 1 ## Images ![ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Pt5bqJ22L.jpg) ![ - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EAhD-aQHL.jpg) ![ - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZP0+sWI6L.jpg) ![ - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81fyxUG1jqL.jpg) ![ - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LAagBEoZL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can this work for arabic language?** A: Hi Mohamed, Thank you for reaching out.

I already knew from experience with other devices that most have a problem with translating Japanese to English for some reason but I thought this one would be different based on the reviews I read here on Amazon. I figured as long as this Scanmarker Air didn't use Google Translate there was hope that it might give a good translation. That hope was short-lived as I removed the product from the shipping package and the first thing I spotted on the back of the box was the Google Translate icon. I immediately assumed I spent over $100 on another "Google Play Store app wrapped in plastic". Still, I had to go through the motions just to confirm my fears... After a couple hours practicing just holding the scanner (I was about to trash the device just because it kept telling me my scan attempts were not smooth, too slow, etc.) I thought I finally got the hang of it. I was scanning English text from books, research papers, etc. for practice and it worked fine in that regard. It worked great scanning English from books to MS Word, Excel, etc. My next test was trying to scan regular horizontal Japanese text and translate to English. I tested on a few book titles, paragraph sentences, both single words and single line of text. Both tests failed. I got nothing but garbled gibberish... I tested some of my vertical text Japanese books and in this test I got gibberish + odd symbols. I tried horizontal Japanese text from a document published this year but instead of translating, I just scanned the Japanese text it produced to Word then copy/pasted the scanned text into other online translation apps (Yes, Google Translate too) and got the same results... gibberish that made no sense what-so-ever. I don't know if this product bases its translations from the Google Translate database but when will someone on this earth come up with a half-descent Japanese to English translator? Until there is an answer to this question, I will just have to continue relying on my poor wife (who's Japanese) to translate Japanese for me until I become fluent. It is not a total loss, I am a researcher and so I think I may still hold on to this product for note scanning (from English text) however, I would NOT recommend this product to anyone that hopes to use this to translate lines for Japanese text (horizontal and vertical) from literature. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scanmarker Air Reading Pen & Pen Scanner | Translator Pen for Dyslexia, Students & Professionals - Compatible with Mac, Windows, iOS & Android - Hard Travel Case Replacement for Scanmarker Air Pen Scanner Wireless OCR Digital Highlighter Reading Pen by co2CREA - Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for Scanmarker Air Digital Highlighter OCR Pen Wireless Scanner Reader Translator --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/35909610-](https://www.desertcart.at/products/35909610-) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
