Decision:

As a budget-conscious buyer, I was hoping for a gadget that would make language barriers a thing of the past, and for the most part, this pen delivers. It's quite user-friendly and has become a handy tool in my daily life, especially for fitness and health research where I encounter a lot of foreign terms. The irony is that it's so good at what it does, but the Wi-Fi dependency reminds me that nothing's perfect. Overall, it's a solid choice that meets my expectations with a few quirks—definitely worth it for the price! :)

• Pros: I was quite impressed by how quickly it translates text—it feels almost instant, which is a lifesaver when I'm trying to understand foreign menus or documents. The battery lasts a surprisingly long time, easily outlasting my phone on a full charge, and I love that I can use it for both translating and scanning without any fuss. It's small enough to carry everywhere, making it perfect for my travels and work as a social media specialist.
• Cons: The need for a Wi-Fi connection can be a bit limiting; it doesn't work well in areas with poor internet, which is frustrating when I'm on the go. Also, while it's generally reliable, I've noticed it can sometimes struggle with very complex or handwritten text, leading to minor errors that require double-checking.
