As an input device, captures the handwriting data, that once digitized, can be uploaded to a computer and displayed on its monitor. The data can then be interpreted by handwriting software (OCR) to allow the digital pen to act as a text entry interface and be used in different applications or just as graphics.
Some pens are equipped with a digital recording device that allows to use them as intelligent Dictaphone. They can be used, for example for students to record the voice of the master while taking notes. Then you may hear a sound segment associated with a digital notebook area, playing area with the tip of the pen.
Technology groups[edit]
Accelerometer[edit]
- Accelerometer-based digital pens contain components that detect movement of the pen and contact with the writing surface.
Active[edit]
- Active pens, such as N-trig's DuoSense Pen™, include electronic components whose signals are picked up by a mobile device's built-in digitizer and transmitted to its controller, providing data on pen location, pressure, button presses and other functionality.
Positional[edit]
- Position-based digital pens use a facility to detect the location of the tip during writing. Some models can be found on graphics tabletsmade popular by Wacom, and on tablet computers using Wacom's Penabled™ technology.
Camera[edit]
- Camera-based pens use special digital paper to detect where the stylus contacts the writing surface, such as those using Anototechnology.
Trackball pen[edit]
- Trackball pens use a sensor that is located on the pen to detect the motion of the trackball.
