I want to fill in various fields on a computer screen using text scanned. Can this act like an input device and put text into a line on a form?

Sure, as long as the fields or text files where you can type in, this pen scanner can also let you scan into it.

On my scanner mouse there is a small button on the left side of the mouse. Just hit that button and start moving the mouse on your document and it will scan.

It can be used with a stylus just as any capacitive touchscreen device can. I don't believe that it comes with handwriting recognition software.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

the scanner just replaces the data entry portion of using a keyboard to input a part number. this is an excellent scanner and works well with scanning various barcodes and upc codes. i even use it to scan UPS packages to put the tracking number on an invoice instead of copy and paste. the scanner would work good for inventorying what you have in stock. you could use excel or setup an access database, scan the barcode or UPC code of the item to look up the item data instead of typing the 12 digit upc code

No, you cannot edit documents scanned in this way directly. This device only helps you take a good picture of the document... so top edit, you would need to get Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to read the text in the picture. That's not handy.

The instructions say you can, but it is not all that user friendly for this function. For example, there is no typewriter type keyboard, just a phone keyboard. So to type any length of reply would take a lot of patience.

Not natively but any capacitive stylus would work as the screen is a normal 10-points capacitive display. There are a lot of available capacitive stylus on the market. Pick the one you like.

you can, it will not be as precise as the pen though, ALSO NOTE: you can go into the settings and change how you want the screen to respond, to touch only, touch & pen, or pen only. I always sent mine to PEN ONLY so that I can rest my hand on the screen as I write and not have the objects jump all over the place.

It would really depend on the music software. The scanner simply emulates keyboard input. So when you scan a code, it behaves as if you would have typed it REALLY fast. The scanner is configurable do do certain things to make it more compatible. For example, by default it sends a Carriage Return at the end. You could change it so that it sends a space or tab. Hope that helps.

Hello Doug...The scanner inputs text into any field from any barcode so it would work with any program. If you tell me what you're trying to accomplish I may be able to be a bit more helpful.This page may help you also... http://www.taltech.com/barcodesoftware/articles/which_barcode_software

No it cannot... it only stores images/drawings that can be imported when you connect the device to your laptop. It cannot be used as an input device (move your mouse on the screen)

I got this device to use as a printer. I haven't noticed any way to use it as a scanner.

You can either draw into the program on a sketch layer, or if you draw on paper you can scan it, either or is good. i recommend a great drawing tablet however.

I have been able to use it anywhere text can be entered. So I would expect it to work.

yes. it turns the screen like a blackboard. you can use the pen to add words, lines, etc and delete them.
