[Pibe-division] Digital Handwriting and Voice Recorder--extra

[Dr. Denise M. Robinson]

Digital Handwriting and Voice Recorder 
One-step further than just digital handwriting into text: The Digital Ink Pad with Voice Recording. Compare this to the previous Digimemo on the Blog, which did not allow 
voice recording, or to be used as a functional PC Tablet when hooked to a computer.

This notebook sized pad allows you to hand write information (or a 
sighted person to do take notes in class, then hand back to someone who 
cannot see the board) But also add verbal notes, that when you upload it
 to your computer, the voice recording will be linked to the page. The 
product comes with Handwriting Recognition Software; Using MyScript 
Notes, OCR handwriting recognition software & you can transfer your 
handwriting to text.

In addition, In PC Tablet Mode; once connected to computer through USB 
port, Digital Ink Pad + could be used as fully functional PC tablet. If 
you already have a computer, this is a great addition to computing 
capabilities. The handwriting recognition software is also already 
included in the package when you buy it. After you upload your work, you
 can edit it on the computer.

The feedback on this product has been very positive: "What makes it 
better than the DigiMemo (my second option) tablet is that it has voice 
recording capabilities, a headphone slot for playing music (via a SD 
card), and if you connect it to your computer via USB, it becomes a 
fully functional tablet with the pen as a mouse"

Some tricks you will need to keep in mind if you buy this. Have several 
sheets of paper on the pad, use your best penmanship or tell the person 
who is taking notes for you to use good penmanship. Hold the tip of the 
pen up and don't rub your hand on the pad as you write. This is true for
 the digimemo also. More at http://blindgeteducated.blogspot.com/
