Customer Reviews

Digital Pen - Dane Elec
Great product, could not find another that would offer all these features i.e. no special paper, ink refill available from multiple online sites (approx. $1.50/pcs) and most importantly mobility. The software for the pen does not install on the computer/laptop, only the Notes Script. It offers storage directly on the reader so once it is connected to a different computer notes are still accessible instantly. Handwriting recognition is function of ... personal handwriting. Price is more than decent for the features offered. The reader doubles as a storage device up to 1G.
IoGear Digital Scribe is very similar but not mobile as it works only when the reader is connected to the computer.

This product is on recall!!
I recommend NOT BUYING this product right now. I've had two and had to return both. This product is now officially on recall. Buy at your own risk!

My Z-Pen does not work
I bought a Z-Pen in high hopes. It worked ok for about 3 sessions and then just stopped working. I have written twice to Dane-Elec Corporation asking them to either send me new pen or return my money. They have not even had the courtesy to reply. Don't buy this product.
