Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Dane-Elec DA-DP1-01GC5-R Z-PEN Wireless USB Digital PenCustomer Review: A Fantastic Digital Pen Summary: 5 Stars
Not liking previous reviews of digital pens, I waited a long time before purchasing a digital pen. The ZPen is an amazing device really works! ZPen records your handwriting accurately--and even retains the formatting. Clip the receive to the top of a note pad, any kind of paper as large as A4 (portrait). Write or draw and then upload text and drawings to a PC monitor. Convert your handwriting to text (RTF) to use in Microsoft Word. The receiver unit (a 1 GB flash drive) can also be used to store text, music, pictures, and video. By registering the product you receive an additional software program to search your handwritten notes. Install 2 small batteries into the top of the pen, install the software on your PC, and you're ready to write. Opening the package is initially bewildering because there are no directions. Directions, software, guides, and manuals are all stored on the flash drive. Plug in the USB receiver, install the software, and launch the note-taking program. Replace the ballpoint pen cartridge as needed. Pull out the old and insert the new one. No special brand of ballpoint is needed. ZPen's home is France, so technical support via telephone is impractical. The directions are easy enough, although the documentation could have been written better for English users, but I did not read any incomprehensible text. The receiver houses a battery that recharges when connected to a USB port on your PC with the short USB cable included. The ZPen is a winner.
Description of Dane-Elec DA-DP1-01GC5-R Z-PEN Wireless USB Digital PenDane-Elec Z-PEN Wireless USB Digital Pen, DA-DP1-01GC5-R Overview The zPen Digital Pen is a revolutionary new natural input device that captures your handwriting without the need for special paper or a direct connection to a computer. Write notes anywhere and then upload the files to your computer any time. It's the perfect merger of our most natural form of creative expression, pen on paper, with the modern need to digitize everything. Write, draw, sketch, compose or diagram anywhere and anytime without carrying a laptop. Later, with USB plug-and-play ease, upload your work to your computer where you can save it, edit it, search it and send it Easy, Fast and Convenient to Use | Who is the zPen for? The zPen is ideal for professionals, middle managers and students. Middle managers sit in a lot of meetings. They end up with hundreds of pages of notes in the classic yellow tablets. Buried in those tablets are to-do items, schedules, diagrams, agreements; lots of important stuff. But it gets lost there. Now there is a way to save, edit, search, and send these vital notes without spending hours typing. The zPen effectively replaces the laptop computer and its disruption in meetings. Some companies have begun prohibiting laptops in meetings because the user becomes a passive recorder and is no longer an active participant. The interface with the zPen, however is completely intuitive, so all your creative faculties remain in play. It actually liberates the creative juices. This is especially true in the classroom. Professors are complaining about looking out at a sea of screens and wondering if anyone is listening, much less participating. The zPen captures those notes, formulas and diagrams intuitively and without distraction. How to Use the zPen The zPen is remarkably easy to use. Pull out your familiar pad of paper and your zPen receiver. Clip it to your pad and turn it on. Start to write with your zPen. That?s it. The Pen automatically turns itself on and off. It may be the most unobtrusive technology available. You?re at your creative best with all your attention on the task at hand. It will run all day and store thousands of pages. | Parts and Accessories | Whenever you return from your meeting or class, simply insert the receiver into your USB port. The Viewer software automatically opens from the receiver and you click on the newest file to see your work. The accuracy and thoroughness of the zPen will delight you. Giggles are a common reaction to seeing all your creative glory on the computer screen for the first time. From there, you have numerous options. Software With one button click you can convert your notes to a Adobe pdf file and distribute the file to team members or classmates who slept in. This Viewer software runs on virtually all recent operating systems, from Windows 2000 onward, Mac OS and even most versions of Linux. If you want to convert your handwriting into Word-compatible text, a full version of MyScriptNotes Optical Character Recognition Software is included. (Windows only) Or, just drop the original file into a folder as is and use our exciting new NoteSearch software (Windows only) to search and sort on all your HANDWRITTEN notes. Type in a key word, like amazon.com and it brings up all the documents where you wrote about amazon.com. You get the best of both worlds; the intuitive freedom of the pen plus the digital power to save, sort and search. We think this will change how people work and learn. In addition to the pen, you get the rechargeable receiver and USB drive with one GB of flash memory; a USB cable, Pen and Ink Viewer for Windows, Mac or Linux; the full-version of MyScriptNotes for Windows and a 30-day trial of NoteSearch for Windows.
