Natural Writing in a Digital World
by Rick Smith (December 22, 2001)
Writing on paper is a natural, human experience that has existed for hundreds of years. E-Pen InMotion has created the E-Pen, a truly 21st century product that utilizes your natural ability
The E-Pen system consists of a wireless digital pen, writing controller and necessary software. Using this system, you write messages and drawings on any type of paper and they are translated into digital ink. Your notes are now easily accessible by a PC or compatible mobile device -- you don't have to change the way you have worked for years, just because you want to also store your writing digitally.
Setting up the E-Pen is an easy 4 step process:
Install included E-Pen DigiWrite software
Plug in the receiver to the USB port
Clip the included receiver onto paper sheet
Start writing and/or drawing
Your writing is now digitally transmitted (via ultrasonic and infrared technology) to your computer. Since anyone who can use a pen can now use the E-Pen, there is virtually no "learning curve" to get used to this device.
Some specific applications are:
Students taking notes in class
Attorneys' notes during trials
Retail Business signature authentication
Medical prescription authorization
Financial transaction approval
The E-Pen retails for $179 and is currently available. The E-Pen is Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows CE compatible. Interface models are available for either USB or serial PDA.
