Digimemo, the misty gadget

My Sogeti Christmas present was indeed a Digimemo (A5 size). It's quite a nice gadget and more portable than a laptop. It's also cheaper than a laptop and uses loads less batteries: just four AAA batteries in the pad and a teensy tiny watch battery in the pen. The pen does write with real ink and the cartridges are easily replaceable. Two spares can be stored in the pad itself, and there's also room for a Compact Flash card for extra memory. The pad itself has 32 MB's of storage, enough to store many pages.



The digimemo, available also from the Digimemo website.

In the package was also the MyScript handwriting recognition software, allowing me to transcribe my notes not only to .pdf or image (.bmp, .jpg, .tif, or .png), but also to rtf- and txt-files. In a dozen languages! The software is surprisingly good. Observe:


Original image of what I wrote. It transcribed to:

This is a demonstration of my new gadget: a digital memo pad, This was my Christmas present from Sogeti

You simply write on Real paper with a Real pen that comes with the pad, and it Registers every. thing.'
I also got the handwriting-Reay, tritium software with it, Guess what? H is smart enough to decipher 50% of even Pokey's handwriting, which is ghastly.

See? 9 told you W3 didn't I? a
Canyon guys even Read this?)

In an earlier draft, I wrote "nifty gadget" and that was translated to "misty gadget". PoKey's going to go spare though! *grin*

The software 'learns' too, so there's a road ahead of hilarious spelling errors. But I love my new misty gadget!
