One of the problems for students and business people alike is taking good notes, whether they are for study or to make sure you have an accurate record of something. If you are a student, good notes are essential for revision and should be in a succinct format. The trouble is that notes can easily get lost unless you put them somewhere safe immediately. This is why Digital Note Takers are rapidly becoming popular across the world.

To be able to record accurately certainly aids the note-taker by serving as a memory device for various reasons: a) what they heard/saw are more easily recalled and b) being able to record an mmediate thought on the particular subject matter. The actual process of taking notes will also increase concentration and attention and will force the information to be processed at a deeper level and to be combined with other previously known information. Psychologists will tell you this will be of great benefit in the process of memorising the information.

While for some it may be found that taking notes is distracting, that you can scribble down even quick notes digitally aids the retrieval process and any future documentation that may need to be produced.

The Digiscribble Mobile Digital Pen digital note taker is a rather nifty little USB driven gadget that 'copies' your notes and sketches as you produce them with your pen and then transfers to your PC and comes up as text. Your notetaker may have to learn your handwriting, but once this is done, it's going to be a major time saver!

Depending on the setup and software on your computer, you can write directly to your PC as well.

We see an obvious use for all users, as the capturing unit is small and lightweight and just clips to the top of your notepad. Take it back home, plug in via the USB port and transfer to the PC.

Find your own uses (I'm sure you can!), mine is just to be able to keep track of my handwritten notes that often get lost, taking notes in meetings etc.

I could have done with one of these at Uni as I usually lost my notes by revision time! Very useful for recording dates and times for your diary as well.
