So, I'm on the hunt for a smart pen. I used to use a Livescribe pen in college and loved it; more or less. However, there are far more smartpens out there nowadays, and I'm having trouble deciding which one would best fit my needs.
I primarily want a smart pen to workshop books on notebook paper, as that's how I best think. I've found going back to dumb devices (or devices that do one thing) is extremely helpful for my thinking process, but I don't want to go totally dumb with a regular notebook and pen. That'd make transcribing stuff a little lengthy.
I've seen the following pens:
Have I missed any potential brand candidates?
As for personal preferences; I write best on lined paper and I think that all of these have lined paper options. I don't need audio recordings, though I do tend to talk to myself while writing so it might be useful.
Thank you, folx!
FWIW, I loved Livescribe back in the day and from what I've seen, today's smart pens aren't much if any better than those were. Personally, I think Rocketbook does most of what I cared about while costing a lot less.
It's also easier, more reliable, and causes a lot less "what's that thing?"
I would go with the Neo or inq smartpen. Both have some nice features. If audio and AI is a priority go with the inq. Otherwise the NEO Smartpen is a great solution, especially with all of the notebook options.
What does the AI in the Inq do?
