Hi Group, I just saw a new product...the optical pen scanner...on sale and am very interested in finding out anyone's opinion (who has one or knows better than I) on this seemingly handy genealogy device. I read the product info. available, but could find no answers to this other question. Does anyone know if this optical scanner scans cursive writing, or writing from a projection on a microfilm reader? It does not seem likely, but I am curious nonetheless. It seems like this would save on countless copies of newspapers and records from the Troy library or any other place, for that matter. Thanks, Brooke
