Digital pen Detail
The development of digital pens is comparable to the invention of email. This technology has just as much potential to revolutionize the way we share information and conduct business. Some businesses have been using the electronically-enabled pens for mapping, surveying, filling out forms, and other business functions for the last few years, but consumers are just scratching the surface in understanding the multi-purpose functionality of these pens right now. Expect big developments in this technology in the next few years.
Although different elements of the technology have been around for a while, none of the pens we reviewed have been in existence for more than five years. Some of the pens share technology components, while other components are unique. Some such as the Echo Smartpen, Pulse Smartpen and Capturx for OneNote require the use of special paper and contain a camera within the pen itself. For others such as the Mobile Digital Scribe, the recording/sensor technology is housed in an accompanying docking device that must be placed on or near the paper on which you are writing. All the pens we included in our review allow you to upload your hand-written words, tables and illustrations electronically to an application on your computer. Most convert the data to text which can then be imported into a Word document or the body of an email. Some provide online components to better help you share your electronic notes with friends and colleagues. Others record the audio of the meeting for which you are taking notes and include it in a Flash file with your hand-written notes.Electronic pens are useful for college students, journalists and business people. Many pens are marketed for use in the educational environment, but Livescribe, manufacturer of the Smartpen, says that 70 percent of their customer base uses the computerized pens for business-related purposes. The pens are also fun for children.
