Although our phones and tablets have taken over a huge part of our work life as convenient productivity tools, we still find ourselves relyimg on pen and paper for our more intimate work. The act of writing and sketching on paper encourages a natural flow of ideas from your brain to your fingertips, something that an interaction with a machine cannot replicate.
It would be great if we can merge the analogue and digital world, but seems like no one has really cracked the magic formula for bringing your handwritten notes into the digital realm. Everyone’s favorite notebook maker Moleskine gave it a go with their Livescribe Notebook and the Creative Cloud Collection, but with mixed results. They are giving the idea another go with their new Smart Writing Set, equipped with Pen+ that has Neo smartpen technology. The dots on the special Paper Tablet notebook tracks the bluetooth smart pen’s movements, digitizing anything that you write or draw. You can also convert your writing to text and export your notes to third party apps like Evernote, making this the ultimate tool in creative freedom that bridges the digital world from what’s on your paper.
