Self Dictating USB Digital Pen

Wacky — 18 January 2006

There seems to be some skepticism to how exactly this USB digital pen works, but it sounds like Red Ferret is heading in the right (get it) direction. So what is this USB pen thingee you ask? As you lay ink the pen dictates to the USB equipped flash memory dongle via ‘systematic supersonic wave signals’. Apparently this dictating digital pen will last about 20 hours on one charge. We also think that the dongle can be plugged in to a PC for real time on screen presentation. Got some Korean skills? Then hit us with some more info, cause we’re dieing to get the full scoop.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

When you use the pen, the receiver will display what you are writing on the screen and then you can save it as an image file. The way it works is that inside the pen, there’s a chip that will emit signals at inteval and the receiver will interpret that signal to figure where the pen is.
you can also use it as mouse by choosing mouse mode from the included software. the buttons on the side of pen works as the mouse buttons
tthe three light on the receiver lets you know power, activity of the pen, and mouse or pen mode.
there’s a clip on the receiver so that you can easily attach it to a paper and the usb cable is retractable.
there’s usb drive model. it has same functionality as above except it will store whatever you are writing on to the drive. you can use it as regular usb drive. and while the drive is connected to a PC , you can let it display what you are writing on to the display.
usb drive model has rechargable battery inside. you can recharge it via usb port, and it will last about 20 hours.

well there you go..
