“IntelliPen†to digitalise note taking
The EPOS Company is preparing to launch the “IntelliPen”, a writing device which records written words to a portable memory storage device when people write with it (Intellipen image).
The plug and play device looks like a normal pen. It also writes like a normal pen and uses regular ink refill cartridges. The “pen” contains a transmitter that beams every stroke to a waiting USB memory drive, included in the kit.
The USB memory drive clips onto the top of the page being written on. Every time you clip and unclip the device to change pages, the device automatically starts a new page.
When you are done taking notes, you simply unclip the device and plug it into a regular USB port. You can then upload the data, and convert it into an electronic text document.
The storage device carries the installation files, which means there is no need to take installation disks of any sort, simply plug in and use.
The IntelliPen will be available from most Incredible Connection Stores from 1 December 2008. Recommended retail price is R1799 including VAT.
