Capture, browse existing captures, set date, screen contrast, sound options, and memory status are the sole commands and it is impossible to get out of some menus from the keypad, meaning you must push the pen nib into the first of five command shortcut pin holes at the front of the unit to get back to the root menu. There are also very few options within the memory units itself. On the plus side there is very little set up required beyond switching the memory unit on and writing with the pen, but while the LCD scrolls around admirably to map the pen's movements around the page its graphics are blocky and joined up writing is impossible to read. There's no way to measure the pen's remaining battery life. Next up, the pen takes three SR41 batteries and the memory unit two AAA which seems a little excessive.

The effect is twofold, while you're making real world written notes a virtual copy of every mark you make is being recorded.įor good measure, the Mobile NoteTaker can also be plugged directly into a PC allowing handwritten notes to be made within Microsoft Office documents and emails. The concept consists of an electronic pen with real ink and a memory unit with a monochrome LCD display and 2MB (50 page) memory that, when positioned above the writing surface, records all strokes on its scrolling screen. Its answer is the Mobile NoteTaker, a portable device designed to store handwritten data so it can be transferred to a computer at a later date. Step forward Pegasus, a company that believes it has come up with a way to bridge the gap. There's no boot up, no need to be able to touch type and for the great majority of us our drawing skills remain far superior with a pencil than with a mouse, writes Gordon Kelly.
