Mobile Digital Scribe from IOGEAR

IOGEAR, the US company that consistently develops innovative products, has brought out a Mobile Digital Scribe that will store handwritten notes for uploading later onto a PC in digital text.

The product’s pen works on any paper and uses standard ink refills. It is ideal for students and professionals who need to take down information while on the move. An ultrasonic transmitter and infrared sensor capture hand movements while a receiver attached to a notepad stores up to 50 pages of memos and images.

By connecting the receiver to a PC with the included USB cable, the handwriting recognition software translates notes into text and saves sketches as JPEGs for consumers to conveniently save, edit and organise documents.

The Mobile Digital Scribe has additional uses when connected to the computer and can serve as a mouse or writing device and can select and click on items on the screen.

The Mobile Digital Scribe is compatible with 12 languages, Microsoft Windows operating systems Microsoft Vista and Microsoft Office programs 2000 and above, and costs $129.95.
