Not too long ago we launched our Connect Desktop app with the main objective to enable our Bluetooth digital highlighter C-Pen Connect to scan text to computers.
But Connect Desktop app has a hidden superpower that makes it a great companion to our ReaderPen as well. ReaderPen’s Scan-to-File function saves your scans as .txt files – and these files are easily accessed by Connect Desktop.
How-to
After you have digitized the content you want to save, read, remember and learn simply connect the ReaderPen to your computer and select U-disk. Right-click on the text file saved in your ReaderPen and open with Connect Desktop. From here, the text file can be edited, it can be listened to, and a local copy can be saved on your computer.

You don’t have to be a student to find a digital highlighter useful. It’s a very convenient tool to enter data into e.g. business systems as well. Enter dates, amounts, SKU#, invoice or order #, etc. Easy and convenient.
