While there are some places we probably don't want scanners, there are many situations at work or while learning where grabbing a quote or some relevant data and keeping it in digital storage would be useful. The Scanmarker Air Digital Highlighter makes that easy and doable, and right now you can save 20% on it as a Pre-Black Friday deal.

A Highlighter, But Better

The Scanmarker Air works just like an old-school highlighter. Compatible with Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android, it connects via Bluetooth. To use it, just place the points on either side of the text you want to keep, and draw it across. It's able to scan 3,000 characters a minute and put a full line of text on screen within a second of highlighting it.

The Scanmarker uses optical character recognition (OCR) to transcribe the information. Put quotes into reports and papers, copy relevant data into spreadsheets, and note down publication information for footnotes with this tool. It will even read back what you're copying as it scans. Yet as handy as that is, that's just the start.

A Translator In Your Pocket

Rated 4/5 stars on Amazon, the Scanmarker also works as a written language translator. Supporting over 70 languages across major language families, it can read aloud printed text, helping you learn to speak a language or check your pronunciation. You can also use the Speed Reading feature to improve fluency and to compare written and spoken versions of a text.

It also includes a dictionary, so if you're not sure of a word, just scan it and you'll get a full definition. Anyone who works with documents in different languages, or is working to pick up a new one, can speed up the process with a quick swipe, and you can preserve turns of phrase and challenging sentences for later study.

Get the Scanmarker Air Digital Highlighter for $110 (reg. $139) as a part of an early Black Friday deal!
