Write notes anywhere and then upload the files to your computer any time. It's the perfect merger of our most natural form of creative expression, pen on paper, with the modern need to digitize everything. Write, draw, sketch, compose or diagram anywhere and anytime without carrying a laptop. Later, with USB plug-and-play ease, upload your work to your computer where you can save it, edit it, search it and send it
The zPen is ideal for professionals, middle managers and students. Middle managers sit in a lot of meetings. They end up with hundreds of pages of notes in the classic yellow tablets. Buried in those tablets are to-do items, schedules, diagrams, agreements; lots of important stuff. But it gets lost there. Now there is a way to save, edit, search, and send these vital notes without spending hours typing. The zPen effectively replaces the laptop computer and its disruption in meetings. Some companies have begun prohibiting laptops in meetings because the user becomes a passive recorder and is no longer an active participant. The interface with the zPen, however is completely intuitive, so all your creative faculties remain in play. It actually liberates the creative juices. This is especially true in the classroom. Professors are complaining about looking out at a sea of screens and wondering if anyone is listening, much less participating. The zPen captures those notes, formulas and diagrams intuitively and without distraction. How to Use the zPen The zPen is remarkably easy to use. Pull out your familiar pad of paper and your zPen receiver. Clip it to your pad and turn it on. Start to write with your zPen. That’s it. The Pen automatically turns itself on and off. It may be the most unobtrusive technology available. You’re at your creative best with all your attention on the task at hand. It will run all day and store thousands of pages.
Software With one button click you can convert your notes to a Adobe pdf file and distribute the file to team members or classmates who slept in. This Viewer software runs on virtually all recent operating systems, from Windows 2000 onward, Mac OS and even most versions of Linux. If you want to convert your handwriting into Word-compatible text, a full version of MyScriptNotes Optical Character Recognition Software is included. (Windows only) Or, just drop the original file into a folder as is and use our exciting new NoteSearch software (Windows only) to search and sort on all your HANDWRITTEN notes. Type in a key word, like amazon.com and it brings up all the documents where you wrote about amazon.com. You get the best of both worlds; the intuitive freedom of the pen plus the digital power to save, sort and search. We think this will change how people work and learn. In addition to the pen, you get the rechargeable receiver and USB drive with one GB of flash memory; a USB cable, Pen and Ink Viewer for Windows, Mac or Linux; the full-version of MyScriptNotes for Windows and a 30-day trial of NoteSearch for Windows.

 Rating:  - Doesn't Work Every once in a while it will clearly produce a few digitalized words. But 95 percent of what it produces are random lines and marks. It is a piece of junk. Wait for someone to perfect a similar product before you plunk down your hard-earned dollars. Rating:  - Sortta cool, but FinickyPractically speaking, this is a one or two star product. I gave them 3 stars because it is a product in a quite new market with a reasonable price. If you think it's a cool toy, buy it. If you need it to do serious work next week, don't buy it. Here's the quick summary: BOTTOM LINE: The product is basically good, but the tendency of the receiver to drop information is a fatal flaw to practical use. The conditions under which information gets lost are detailed below. ...

I can tell you now that it works just as it claims to as far as capturing your handwriting just as you write it. The clip is big and can grip many sheets of paper, which is something that is a problem with other similar pens of different brands. One problem everyone has with these types of pens (Dane-Elec and every other), is the handwriting ... Read More Rating: - ZPen: it worksThe product does everything it claims it does. The major test is conversion accuracy. Even without training it was quite remarkable. The training makes it almost perfect. Can someone explain to me why this company's stock did not soar after releasing this gem? Rating:  - It works for me!In researching this pen I came across a couple of unfavorable reviews, which almost convinced me not to buy it. I am glad I went through with the purchase. It works as advertised, and I find the text recognition of the included MyScript software to be good. That said, expect to take some time to figure out how it works, and adapt your writing style to meet its limitations. For instance you can't cross out or erase mistakes. Instead you just ignore them and go on writing what you meant to say -- and ... Read More |
