Introduction to
the Zpen
Overview
The Zpen provides all the benefits of a Digital Pen with the addition of full Flash
memory capabilities. Completely portable, users can write, sketch and draw freely
anywhere, using regular paper, while the device simultaneously captures and stores all
written text and drawings in real-time to the Flash memory.
A multi-functional tool, stored data can be later uploaded to a PC via a standard USB
port. Once uploaded, handwritten information can be transformed to digital text using
standard handwriting recognition software, and notes as well as drawings can be edited
and shared via email and messaging applications.
Small, compact and completely wireless, the Zpen can be used at home, school and at
work. The perfect alternative to carrying a heavy laptop, it is ideal for taking notes and
jotting down diagrams in both the meeting room and the classroom.
The product consists of two main hardware components – the Zpen and the Receiver.
