A SmartPen ,rather 'a wonder Pen' that will digitize your notes.It is basically for those who prefer to take notes on a piece of paper and want to store their notes in a digital format as well.
Definitely, there's no magic and no doubt, the pen contains some amazing technology that lets you transmit everything you write or draw to a nearby iPad or iPhone during a conversation,interview or a lecture.
The pen is a wonder collection of various appreciable features.It consists of a tiny camera inside that records the ballpoint pen's movement across a special dotted paper that needs to be used with the device.Moreover,it needs the 'free livescribe app' to be installed on the iPad or iPhone that converts the handwritten notes to text and tag sections with keywords.
Apart from just digitalizing the notes,the pen can also record the audio of a conversation or a lecture.And if you wish to check whether what you wrote is correct,you can go back to a specific section of that audio by tapping the stylus(which is on the other end of the pen).The audio will be played back from that point.One has to carry iPad or iPhone with him along with the special dot paper for an aural recording.
