Infra-red device to transfer handwriting into PDF?Can you say a bit more about what infrared device actually does? I can only imagine that the student is thinking of a scanner that will later transfer images to a PC equipped with recognition software or is thinking of a handwriting confirmation tool, which is usually used to authenticate signatures and doesn't convert writing to text. Give us more clues, this is interesting.

Hi everyone, there is a student who is looking for a device that would transfer his hand-writing into electronic text. It has to be light/portable as he intends to attend tutorials with it. He knows everything about pocket PC, tablet PC and Logitec mouse. For different reasons these devices do not apply. He heard about some sort of infra-red device that can be attached to the standard paper and the text that you write with a standard pen is then transfered into electronic format. He does not remember the name of a manufacturer or something that might help. Do you have any idea what that might be? Thanks a lot.
