The NEWYES SyncPen Smartpen is a digital writing tool designed to capture handwritten notes and drawings, converting them into digital format. It offers a seamless integration between physical writing and digital storage, allowing users to manage, edit, and share their notes through a dedicated mobile application. The smartpen can be used with special NEWYES paper notebooks or an optional LCD pad, providing flexibility in how users capture their content.
Function Description:
The SyncPen Smartpen's primary function is to digitize handwritten input. When writing on NEWYES paper, the pen's high-speed infrared camera captures the strokes, which are then transmitted to the NEWYES NOTE app via Bluetooth. This allows for real-time synchronization of notes, but the pen also supports an offline mode, storing up to 800 pages of notes internally when not connected to a device. Once reconnected, the offline notes can be synchronized.
The NEWYES NOTE app, available for iOS and Android, serves as the central hub for managing digitized content. Within the app, users can:
- Create and Edit Notebooks: Organize notes into different notebooks, rename them, delete them, and save entire notebooks as PDF files. A "Lock the notes" feature protects content from accidental edits.
- Manage Pages: View pages as images or lists, sort them, and manage multiple pages by adding tags or deleting them. Pages can also be shared on social media or exported as PDF/JPG files.
- Record Audio: The pen allows for audio recording linked to specific notes. Tapping the record icon in the app starts voice recording, which is saved with the current note. Multiple recordings can be associated with a single note.
- Pen/Marker/Eraser Functions: Users can change pen colors and thickness, use the SyncPen as a marker, or utilize an eraser function within the app. These settings can be adjusted by tapping corresponding icons.
- Change Page Background: Customize the background of digital pages with options like dot, line, or blank.
- Insert Images: Add images from an album or take new photos, with basic editing capabilities like zooming, changing position, and rotating.
- Handwriting Recognition (OCR): The app can transcribe handwritten notes into digital text, supporting multiple languages. This feature is crucial for searching notes by keywords.
- Playback Writing Process: Users can view their writing process as a video, with adjustable playback speeds.
- Battery Level Monitoring: The app displays the smartpen's current battery level, indicating when recharging is needed.
For users with an LCD Pad, the SyncPen can also be used to write on the screen, with the content synchronizing to the app. The LCD Pad offers additional features like a delete button to erase content and a lock button to prevent accidental deletion.
