Digital Ink of Wellesley,
Mass. has combined the power and the immediacy of handwriting with
computer technology into its wireless, electronic pen, n-scribe™.
With the n-scribe pen, a user can scrawl out messages on paper
and send them off as e-mail, fax, or store them for future use. The
company said that the message will appear exactly as the original,
regardless of its destination.
The n-scribe tracks the pen’s movements and using infrared
relays the digital record of the movements to its storage device,
the carrying case. Sending a message via e-mail will require the
n-scribe’s case to be connected to a cell phone, PDA, or a PC.
In addition, the wireless pen simplifies the inputting of text
into portable electronic devices such as cell phones or PDAs. The
technology complements existing voice, data, image, and video
communication, the company says.
According to The New York Times, the device will be available by
the end of the year.
