smartpen
Ink meets memory
A smartpen is a writing instrument that records what you write and often what you hear while writing.
The pen captures handwriting digitally, allowing notes to be stored, searched, and synced to devices.
Some models link audio to specific written passages, so tapping a word plays back what was being said when you wrote it: I used my smartpen to record the lecture while taking notes.
