Portable Pen Scanner

The IRISPen Air 8 is a lightweight handheld scanner that captures printed text by sliding the tip across a page. It is aimed at students, researchers and anyone who needs to digitise passages from books or documents without a flatbed device.

120 dpi Resolution

The optical sensor operates at 120 dpi, which determines how much detail the pen can capture in a single pass. This resolution suits basic text recognition but will not reproduce fine graphics or small-font footnotes clearly.

Low-Power Handheld Operation

The scanner draws power only while the trigger is pressed, so battery drain is minimal during typical study sessions. No active cooling is required, so the device runs silently and stays cool to the touch.

Questions about this item

What can I realistically capture with the 120 dpi resolution?

The 120 dpi setting captures printed text clearly enough for OCR and text-to-speech, but it is too low for detailed photos or fine graphics.

How does the pen connect to a computer for the software suite?

The pen links wirelessly to the IRIS software on your computer so scanned text appears instantly in any application.

Will the pen slide straight across a bound textbook without a flatbed?

Yes, the handheld design lets you scan directly on curved or bound pages without needing a flatbed scanner.
