Hi Lin;

I've actually used that system. I know several people I have worked with that love the idea and have used them. The two big drawbacks, as I remember, is that when you either fill up the pen memory or the notebook's pages, in order to continue to use the system, you have to copy the recordings off the pen and onto some other device. This means uncoupling the recording from the written material and thus, dismantling the context of the material. The other is (was) that the written material was not convertible to text and could not be treated as digital material to be cut and pasted wherever you wanted it or to be edited as needed.

I do have to admit, I have not looked at the solution in about five years, so I don't know if my "complaints" have been addressed.

Of course, as always, this is my opinion and, as I said I know more that a couple of people who like the system.

Thanks and take care.

Carter


How about a Smart Pen? It records conversations as you take notes and links the audio to the written material.

Digitizes your written notes and graphics, transfers to computer, usable with things like OneNote, images, Word ...

Hi John;

I've used a tablet to write notes on for a while and the tool that I
have ended up using (for about nine years now) is OneNote. It offers
the ability to convert my writing to text and some (though not a
lot) of
my diagrams. In the past, I have tried what would become Nebo and it
was flaky. EverNote was also a no-go because of its dependence on the
cloud *and* couldn't translate my writing to text, it only kept it
as a
picture.

I have since tried Nebo on the iPad Pro, and it works quite well. I
haven't tried it on my Surface yet. The iPad version will convert
hand-drawn flow charts into digital images, I haven't played with it
that much.

My main reason for using OneNote is that almost all of my clients are
Microsoft houses and I know that I can transfer my notes between my
machine and their machines (because I am only supposed to use their
machines for work). One thing I would recommend, don't use the
OneNote
from Office 365, it has a lot of functionality removed. I would use
OneNote from Office 2016 or (not as desirable) Office 2019.

One other thing to note, capacitive touchscreens don't generally have
the resolution to write or easily draw with. Having said that,
you can
get some snazzy styluses (Logitech has one, I think) that minimize
that.

Take care.

Carter
