addresses, phone numbers and e-mail
addresses. C Address can be synchronized
with Microsoft Outlook and supports the
vCard standard.
C Write gives you the possibility to enter characters
by writing with C-Pen as an ordinary pen.
This is useful when editing text, entering file
names or searching for a contact in C Address.
Optimum reading conditions
C-Pen uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read
text. OCR is the process of turning an image of characters
into computer-readable text.
As C-Pen is moved over the text, C-Pen’s internal light
source illuminates the characters and a camera takes
images of the text. During OCR, C-Pen analyzes the
images taken by its camera and translates them into text
characters.
The OCR quality will depend on the reading conditions.
The most common confusions between characters with
OCR are:
e → cl → It → c
r+n → mi → lc → o
