OK I will admit to trying the digital pens and found they used up an awful
lot of special paper and did not like my hand writing. Each page downloaded
for transcription and took time but I know if I had good hand writing
skills it would work! Very good for diagrams and mindmapping. With some of
the pens it is important to bear in mind the repeat cost of ink replacements
and digital paper. Other options are at

Hmm has anyone tried these I wonder? At £150 I think we may buy one to
trial, achieving electronic notes is not simple, notetakers who are good
note takers are rarely good (safe) typists (in my experience) so if anyone
has tried one let me know if not I'll let you all know how we get on.

Subject: Pegasus Mobile Notes taker equipment
To all - following on from the scanning pen discussion - when I was on one
of the websites reccomended, there was a different piece of kit called the
Pegasus Mobile Notes Taker equipment
http://www.scanningpens.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=82
As I understand it this equipment works by a user hand writing there own
notes onto a special clip board and using special digital pen - this can
then later be transferred to a PC and either kept as note form or even
changed to typed text. At least I think this how the system works.
Has anyone had any experience of using this equipment? or has any one
suggestions of anything similar?
I was interested as I currently have to get some one else to type up my
hand written notes for me, and I wondered if this was a way of cutting out
the middle man (or woman!!)?
Has anyone any experience? or again knows where I might test such
equipment?
If I have understood this equipments use correctly - it also crossed my
mind whether notetakers working with students might also benefit from such
equipment??
Saying all this, i may not have understood the ins and outs of all this,
but again if anyone has any experience I would be interested to know.
Many thanks
