IOGear Mobile Digital Scribe

Found it very difficult to download it onto my system (Vista) kept getting a message to reinstall it. However the support team were very good and replied to my questions by return and I finally manage to get it load OK. Most of the writing is recorded...

An okay product, but for productivity not so good

 

An okay product, but for productivity not so good

The pen has very low resolution, so anything smaller than one centimeter in diameter would not be clear. The mouse mode is not accurate. The fine control that you may expect from an analog pen, is unjustified by the lack of resolution in the system. So...

as expected

The device works as expected. What is sad is that the product is discontinued, so soon gone. I couldn't find it here in Finland from anyone, fortunately there is amazon.com. The vendor says this does not work with Windows7, but don't tell that to my...

So-so device...Save your money

I was definitely not impressed with this electronic scribe. I had hoped I could use it while out on job sites, but it only keeps it's charge for about two hours. Also, the receiver unit must stay in a fixed location all the time. If it moves at all,...

Great, but

Great tool, does what it says. Absolutely zero Linux support. They don't hide this fact, but nevertheless its a negative

Impressively accurate

 

Impressively accurate

I could not imagine that a pen like this one could be so accurate. It does not require any specific surface, but remains perfectly accurate. It's really easy to use, i.e. just plug it in USB and it works under windows. One caveat though: it is not...

Pen refills. Dream big!

 

Pen refills. Dream big!

The pen cartridge that comes with this product is suboptimal. The ink flows out erratically and faintly. Though IOGear will sell refills at confiscatory rates plus shipping, I figured I would be buying back into the same problem. So, I decided to do...

Product Specifications

Mobile Digital Scribe is the first device ever to capture natural handwriting from any surface, and store it in the receiver for future use. Based on a revolutionary electronic pen that uses ordinary ink refill to write on any paper, the Mobile Digital Scribe stores handwritten notes, memos or drawings for easy upload to any computer at your convenience. No special digital notepad is required. Additionally, if the Mobile Digital Scribe is connected to a computer, handwritten text and drawings are displayed directly on the computer screen.
