The challenge of taking effective notes
Do you have a hard time writing and speaking in meetings at the same time? Have you ever zoned out while taking notes in a lecture, conference, staff meeting or brainstorming session? Do you need to give constructive feedback to your language learners? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you are going to love the Pulse Smartpen as much as I do.
What is the Pulse Smartpen?
In a nutshell, the Pulse Smartpen is a computer in a pen that captures everything a person hears and writes and then amazingly synchronizes the notes and audio together. Simply tapping the pen anywhere on the handwritten notes or drawings enables you to hear the conversation play back from that exact moment in time.
It is a talking notebook!!! All notes and audio can be transferred to personal computer for backup, search, playback or sharing.
How does it work? How does the notebook talk?
The smartpen comes with a special notebook and the two work seamlessly together so that you can take the best notes ever. The simplest explanation of this mind boggling amazing technology is as follows:
-
First the userfriendly pen has a built in infra camera and microphone.
-
Second the notebook is printed with special microdots that are recognized by the pen as well as iconic recording control functions printed on the bottom of every page such as record, pause, stop etc
-
Third when you write or draw on the page the pen stores anything that you have written together with any audio content that you recorded while writing on the page.
The result?
Like I said a talking notebook!!! Just tapping your notes , drawings , diagrams, anything that you have written, scribbled or doodled will play back the corresponding audio that was recorded while you were doodling, excuse me, I meant notetaking .
Wait there is more!
When you dock the pen in the USB cradle all your hand written notes and audio recordings are transfered to the computer and can be viewed, listened to, exported as a PDF, searched and shared online. You can delelte from your pen at any point in time because everything is saved on the computer.
What do you get when you buy the pen?
- The Smartpen ( 1 Giga more than 100 hours of recording or 2 Giga more than 200 hours of recording)
- 1 two hundred page spiral notebook ( You can also print your own paper if you have a color lazer printer)
