For those who prefer the feel of a real pen and paper over a tablet and stylus, Equil developed the Smartpen 2, a brilliant way to capture all of your thoughts, scribbling and doodles with one simple tool. This tool can transform any scrap of paper into a digitally editable file you can enhance and organize at a later date.

 

The Smartpen 2 is an excellent option for writers, artists and students who find themselves coming up with great ideas on the go. Whether you’re sketching cartoon characters on a napkin, outlining plot ideas on a receipt or capturing your lecture notes on the back of your syllabus, you can transport it all to your phone, computer or tablet, where it can be formatted to fit a variety of apps and programs, dependent upon your needs. Smartpen 2 also turns your illegible and messy handwriting into typed content, which you can then edit at your convenience for emails, blog posts, essays and more.

 

 

The device itself is small and fits easily in a purse or backpack. The two-part tool is made up of an average-looking pen that writes with real ink that can be refilled with a cartridge from any office supply store. The receiver is lightweight and only a few inches long, and easy to clip onto the top of your writing surface, no matter how large or small. They both have built-in memory, as well, so you never have to worry about losing your work, and eight hours of battery life. SmartPen 2 works with two apps you download to whichever device you plan to use with the tool most, and they both are compatible with several different languages.

 

The Equil Smartpen 2 can be purchased on Amazon for $199.
