What is SmartPens ?
A smart pen is a high-tech writing tool that records spoken words and synchronizes them with notes users write on special paper. A student can thus record everything a teacher says and later replay any part of a lecture by tapping the pen's tip on words written throughout the class.
How to use Smartpens ?
When you turn on the Echo Smartpen, you hear a beep. You set up your pen by tapping its tip on information bubbles in an interactive brochure that comes with it. The pen uses text to speech to describe each step and function.
The information bubbles teach you how to use the pen, practice, record a lecture, upload notes onto a computer, and what all the buttons do.
The Menu button, for example, enables you to set the date, time, and audio quality, and to adjust playback speed and volume.
Once configured, you turn the pen on at the beginning of a class or presentation and write as you would with any other pen.
For my perception
Smartpens make us take note less stressful by eliminate the fear of missing anything said from teacher during a class or meeting. They also remove the time consuming task of transcribing a complete lecture by enable students to access any part of a recorded lecturer by just tapping on words. the notes are also easier to store, organize, search, and share,but the weakness point is that this device still not popular in Thailand and the cost of buying is very high
