    the neater and more consistent your handwriting, the easier time the Nuwa pen will have captur[ing] it

    That’s me out then

    Having the app being the thing that makes something useful is a red flag. If the app/company dies your gadget is e-waste.

      Excellent point but how would you do it without an app? Even if it was Open Source and for PC it would need to be sending data to a PC to put together as a legible note. The pen itself is too underpowered to do that all on its own, the pen is just the data capturing tool. It would be a similar situation for Open Source, too, an end to development could mean an end to the devices continued usefulness.

        The difference is, if the app were open-source someone could continue developing it.

        If it’s proprietary, you’re shit out of luck.

    I was gifted a Livescribe pen years ago, which paired the pen/camera with microdot paper. It also would digitize handwriting and some other basic tricks, but what I found most useful was it could record audio and sync your notes to that. Very handy for meetings when you don’t get to write everything down or you needed additional context to some notes or diagrams you scribbled down. I used it for about six months but I still have it.

    No machine can read my chicken scratches! Or human, for that matter. Including myself.

    In all seriousness, this sounds intriguing but I couldn’t tell you what I’d use it for. When I write with a pen it’s usually a couple quick basic notes. Anything more involved and my typing skills are way better

    Okay wow this one is pretty interesting.

    I actually love the idea of everything I write with a specific pen being synced digitally.

    That’s gonna be a no from me. There’s a picture halfway down of just how miserable the capture actually is.
