Software
Smart devices deserve smart software.
C-Pen combines powerful hardware with intuitive apps and built-in firmware to give you a seamless reading and productivity experience.
Whether you’re using your device at home, in the classroom, or on the go, everything is designed to stay up to date, easy to use, and ready to perform.
SOFTWARE MATTERS
Some C-Pen models work stand-alone and do not require connection to a computer or smartphone. These models have all functions and content embedded into the device software – called firmware. On a regular basis we release firmware updates.
Other models are designed specifically to work as an accessory, connected wired or wirelessly to a computer or smartphone. In these cases content and features are implemented in the app rather than in device.
