Anybody have or used any electronic pens? They claim to record what you write, record audio, etc. This sound really helpful, but before I try one of these out I'd like to know if they are all their cracked up to be. Advice?

Arcesious Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Cool, but I bet it could be broken quite easily... Plus, how hard is it to remember what you wrote? That's way expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a digital backup of your notes, records voice messages, etc. And that ones is just an example. There are cheaper ones on the market.

Nedak Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Would be kind of easy to cheat wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That is ridiculously expensive for a pen, regardless of its functions, which aren't all that in any case. Unless I was writing a gigantic research paper, I don't see any scenario where I'd need to listen to what I wrote. And even if I was, I'd probably be using Microsoft Word. Besides, writing actually helps memory retention. Don't go for it, Ave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 hehe, I get frustrated enough losing cheap pens. I can't imagine what I would do if I misplaced one that costs so much that I sought out advice before purchasing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_man Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I remember reading somewhere in some geek magazine that the pens require special paper or something to record stuff. If can keep it in your sight and not lose, I'd think it's be a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 There are many different types of e-pens available. I like the type that allow you to use normal paper. you just clip a sensor onto the paper you are using and it records it all for you. what were you wanting to use this for mainly? Recording lectures, or digitising notes? mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
