C-Pen Plus

The Site for C-Pen users and developers

The C-Pen 800 by C Technologies™ is a computer in a pen.

It looks like a simple scanner, but with a 100 MHz processor, a megabyte of RAM, and 8 megabytes of flash memory, to call this little unit a scanner is to underestimate its capabilities.

Sure, it can read text with 98% accuracy. And you can enter text by writing normal characters instead of simplified graffiti. And of course you can transfer thousands of pages of text to or from your desktop computer. But you can also use that computing power to translate foreign words with the downloadable full sized Oxford, Merriam-Webster’s or Norstedts dictionaries.

And then again, it is a PDA. It has a calendar that synchronizes with Microsoft Outlook, and an address book that synchronizes with the Windows Address Book and accepts IR transfers from those other PDAs.

But what really makes it a useful tool, is that it is user programmable. With the comprehensive Software Development Kit (SDK) freely downloadable from C Technologies, programmers can create new applications, games, and systems extensions.

The purpose of this site is to provide a central location for third party applications, downloadable software, hints and tips for users and developers, and rants and raves about the C-Pen.
