The Claim

The electronic highlighter is similar to that as the technology of a copy machine or computer based scanner but vastly more compacted and easy to use. The Highlighter uses ultraviolet light to scan any ink/lead based text and stores it in a text file document on it's imbedded USV stick. After turned on the highlighter is used similar to that of a colored marker press and hold the scan button while you graze the tip of the Electronic highlighter across the surface of the desired information you wish to scan, one line at a time. The print is then scanned and saved within the electronic highlighter itself and the information is saved in the order it was scanned even if you jump from line to line on a single page. After scanning is completed you can hook up the end of the electronic highlighter to any computers USB port and download the scanned material to any computer in the form of a file ready text document for easy storage. This compact scanner aids in creating organized and less time consuming work of taking notes and saving bits of important information, with out the bulk of jotting down notes. All the convenient of a scanner, copier, and notebook in the palm of your hand.
