ZPen (ZedPen)

[Ethel]

An AB user had bought one and was going to post a review.

To my shame, I can't remember who it was.

Anybody got one?

[ACtheTROLL]

it was me!

not yet ... it's coming from china by pack snail .....
it was sooooo cheap - If I'd known I'd have walked over there and picked it up myself.

I'm certain it will come this year - you'll be the first to know

Good. I knew it was either you or Rojash.

My breath is still bated.

I still have logitech io which is an earlier version of this technology and if anyone wants it they can have it gratis. I got it to try to engage my technophobe partner, but it remains gathering dust. My view was that for anyone who could use a keyboard, it was a pointless device. The handwriting recognition was not good, and I will be interested to see if this is improved with the z-pen.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago.

Have used it (properly) once to take minutes down.

Have used it several times to play with.

So far my experience is that if you are writing slower than normal, it works brilliantly, but if you speed up, the character recognition doesn't work brilliantly.

You can 'teach' it how to read your writing, but haven't tried yet.

Will let you know when I have had more use.

Sorry, should point out that I am talking about character recognition as opposed to just copying your handwriting - which is perfect.
