AlphaBeam is a software utility that allows an IrDA-capable computer to receive text from an IR-model AlphaSmart 3000 (AS30-IR and AS30-IR-RC) without using a connection cable. The computer must have a built-in IrDA transceiver or an AlphaSmart IR Wireless Pod, available for serial or USB configurations. AlphaBeam can transfer text from the AlphaSmart into any program that allows text input.

AlphaBeam is available for downloading at no cost from the support section of this website.
