The IRIScan Mouse is a computer mouse that doubles as a handheld document scanner. Press the scan buttons and drag the mouse across a page; the software stitches the strips into one image and runs OCR to make searchable PDF, Word or Excel files. It is best for people who scan a few pages at a time, such as receipts, book pages and short contracts, and who want a scanner that lives on the desk as a mouse. Against flatbed and sheet-fed scanners it is slower and needs a steady hand, but it takes up no extra space and handles pages a flatbed cannot, like bound books.

Owners like the idea of a mouse that scans and find it handy for quick captures of receipts and book pages. Many say it takes practice to get clean results and that it is too slow for anything more than a few pages.
