Highlight:
ACECAD's DigiMemo A501allows users to write with a special electronic pen, and then upload the notes and cut and paste them into Microsoft Word. The pad uses four AAA batteries that last about 100 hours.

Summary:

  • It's a dilemma familiar to every overworked office type: finding the time to write up all those pages of notes scribbled feverishly in meetings (not to mention actioning any of the points raised).
  • A few technology companies have offered partial solutions, including handwriting recognition systems and text-scanning pens, and now ACECAD have put forward an answer of their own: the DigiMemo A501.
  • Resembling a thick clipboard with an A5-sized writing area, the concept is simple: you place a pad of paper onto the clipboard and write using a special electronic pen.
  • The pen has a ballpoint nib, so it feels exactly the same as writing with a Biro.
  • Every time you've finished writing a page, you simply turn to a new one, pressing an arrow key in the left-hand margin which creates a new digital page in the A501's internal memory.
  • A digital display allows you to toggle through the pages you've saved, adding to or amending what you've written, or deleting an unwanted page entirely.
  • Once you've finished scribbling, you simply attach the DigiMemo to your PC using the USB connection and upload the text.
  • You can stitch multiple pages together to create an ACECAD e-book file, saved in .dnd format.
  • The pages can be cut and pasted into Microsoft Word or emailed as .dnd or .jpg files, depending on the software on the recipient's computer.
  • The pad uses four AAA batteries which last approximately 100 hours.
  • The pen uses a single SR626SW (or IEC-SR66) battery, and includes two spare replacement nibs for the ballpoint.
  • The MyScript Notes' first attempt to convert my handwriting was a spectacular failure, though that could be more a result of my sloppy scrawl than the fault of the equipment.
