In many a meetings, where you need to take down some notes, you feel the need if you had learnt short hand or some similar technique to let you more and faster. It’s not possible to carry a laptop with you everywhere you go. Some times, you might have to go to meet your boss in a short notice and you need to jot down some points to do later. And once you make the note you have to type it so that you don’t loose it, paper is ephemeral after all! All this seems to be too much at times. At such times, Mobile Notetaker comes to you rescue.
With this Mobile Notetaker (along with the pen), which you just clip to your note pad, every movement of your pen on the paper will be displayed in the screen and saved it its memory. Any letter you write or any diagram you make on the pad will be captured to its memory, which you can later transfer to your PC or laptop. The OCR technology also converts your handwritten text to editable text format.
You can choose to take notes in two formats with this notetaker, either mobile mode or connected mode. In the mobile mode, you can carry it with you to any meeting or conference you go, the connected mode helps you to transfer data to a PC or laptop (of course with an USB cable!).
