Colour version of Planon Docupen
Planon has released a colour version of its innovative Docupen, a portable scanner that can hold literally hundreds of monochrome A4 scans - though a review in PC Magazine complained that "At maximum resolution and color depth, built-in memory holds only two 8.5- by 11-inch scans."
Selling at $299, compared with $100 less for a monochrome-only version (or just $99.99 for a "recertified" Docupen BW), the DocuPen scans full-page width and can therefore scan an entire page including text and graphics in just four seconds.
This is far better than other handheld scanners which scan only single lines of text and cannot scan graphics.
The Docupen has black and white, standard color or high 24bit colour modes and resolutions from 100 to 400 dpi. Bundled with it is the Paperport software which will convert scanned documents into editable text and assemble them into a searchable database. Also bundled is the ABBYY FineReader OCR and PDF conversion software.
