• 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.
