It's $5 to get it out of demo mode (which only turns words backwards or erases them).
Looks like it'll be cool though. In person it seems to work pretty well if lighting is good.

It has 4 stars with 82 reviews on iTunes right now.
From that video, it looks insane. I'm guessing voodoo is involved…...

I tried it out and the demo didn't work very well. It's really sensitive to the font it's reading

It is real - a coworker of mine bought it. It does work, but it is font sensitive and stuff like that. Handwriting is tough.
