- I have a hardware/software package that is used to scan in characters
- from a printed page into an IBM PC or clone. Taking bids through
- February 11th.
-
- Here's the promotional information:
-
- "Introducing DataSweep 1: a hand-held character reader you simply
- sweep across lines of text to enter data into your personal computer,
- thus saving the time, energy, and mistakes that go along with using a
- keyboard. DataSweep 1, the intelligent Character Reader, can read
- characters into a variety of word processing, spreadsheet and
- database programs, such as WordPerfect, dBase III, and Lotus 1-2-3.
-
- DataSweep 1's Wand contains optical components and electronic
- components which are able to capture images of characters as the Wand
- passes over printed text. The DataSweep 1 expansion board analyzes
- the images and matches against other characters previously stored
- in its memory. The board then sends the ASCII code for the character
- to the PC. This character is equivalent to a code typed at the keyboard.
-
- DataSweep 1 can read a wide variety of text in typestyles generated on
- daisy wheel, laser and near letter quality dot matrix printers. It
- can also read typewritten text, as well as some typeset material. Soricon
- has tested DataSweep 1 on a large selection of documents originating from
- a number of different print devices, and results indicate that the
- DataSweep 1 has an average recognition accuracy rate of 99.3%."

- Email your bid to duanem@tekig5.pen.tek.com by February 11th.
