The present invention relates to a portable device that integrates a scanner and a writing implement. The device is substantially round, compact and lightweight, and is approximately equal to the width of a standard sheet of paper. The device comprises a clip such that it may be readily and securely carried in a pocket, or any other carrying apparatus. A writing tip protrudes from an opening at an end of the device such that the user can perform standard writing functions. Solid state devices are arranged along the length of the device and as it is manually traversed across a document the reading elements read each line of data. In another embodiment, the device is shorter than the width of a standard sheet of paper, thus the user must scan a document in two passes. The host computer can correct any overlapping between the images. |
