Students, teachers, and other professionals still expected to use a pen to take down notes: Targus is demoing the iNotebook at CES, a transcribing pen that automatically syncs your handwriting and translates it into text via an app on your iPad.
“iPads have become ubiquitous in the home, school and workplace and have transformed the way we perform even the most common task,” stated Melissa Chapman, vice president of tablet cases and accessories at Targus, in a press release. “By working with [iOS devices] on the iNotebook, we are developing a solution that simplifies the task of transferring written content into a digital format so it can easily be saved, accessed and shared."
The iNotebook includes a rechargeable, Bluetooth-enabled writing recognition receiver, which will hook on to the iPad and work with the pen to allow transcription of handwritten notes. The pen will also include integrated stylus that lets users write directly onto the iPad.
We'll hopefully get a chance to play with the pen for you on the CES show floor. It'll be available in June for $149.99.
