RANSLATE TEXT

Thanks to the PromtX translation software integrated in the
IRISPen Translator, you can translate your scanned text lines into
any of the languages supported* by the application. You scan the
text and the translation directly pops up in a separate translation
window.

(*) The list of supported languages directly depends on the language chosen for the
installation of the IRISPen Translator. The supported languages are marked with an
asterisk (a "*" symbol) in the Language field of the Application window.

Warning:
Machine translation

The result you get from the IRISPen is machine translation. As you may
know, this kind of translation is more an "information-only" translation that
gives you the general meaning of a text. The IRISPen will thus work best in
business-like, non-emotive contexts. Do not use it to translate literature,
poetry, or any text containing metaphors, particular connotations or irony.
