So you’re in a meeting or a lecture or just had a really
good idea and made some notes. You look back at what you’ve scribbled on your notepad,
in handwriting that would cause your primary school teacher shudder, quit their
job and declare themselves a failure, and you think… crap, I really should type
this mess up. So you set to the long and laborious task of typing up your
notes, attempting to decipher your hastily scribbled lines and curls, hoping
that you haven’t wasted yet another meeting/lecture/really good idea.
But then you remember you’re living in the future, and that
you took the notes while using the IRISNotes Executive 2. This clever little
gadget consists of a special pen and sleek black sensor. All you need do is attach
the sensor to the top of the page of your note pad, switch it on, and by taking
the notes with the special pen everything you write be will be recorded by a
kind of science that we think is basically just magic.
Seriously, the IRISNotes Execitive 2 is incredible. It is
like having a scanned copy of the notes you’ve taken, without having to scan
anything. Here’s something we wrote using the sensor and pen:
Once completed, we plugged the sensor into our computer
(compatible with Windows, Mac and, thanks to included 30-pin cable, iPhones and
iPads) and downloaded the note using the included software. This is what the
sensor captured:
Pretty amazing, eh? There are one of two places where the
lines didn’t quite connect correctly, but what the sensor has captured is
basically exactly how the pen moved across the paper. Now for the really useful
part. The software will then convert you image into actual text which can be copied,
pasted, emailed and saved to your heart’s content. This is what it did:
Hello Im using a magic pen. One day I hope to use a magic carpet to fly
aiiay into the sunset. Until that day, Ill settle for the IRISNotes Executive
2.
Thanks, bye

Not bad. Sure, it’s not exact, but we think that is mostly
due to our scribbled hand. Your handwritten notes are now automatically typed
up, saving you time and energy. But we wanted to test the IRISNotes further and
decided to try again, this time writing really quickly and a little more
messily. We did this:
Which was turned into this:
And then converted into this text:
Right, this time Im trying harder to write quicker and in messier
handwriting. In trying to catch the IRISNotes Executive 2 out.
Ha, Im great. I'm a hvmanf

Anyway, bye again!

Still pretty amazing. There are endless uses for IRISNotes
Executive 2 and endless applications. Students will keep on top of lecture
notes, business bods will never miss an opportunity to exploit their colleague’s
weaknesses (is that what business people do?) and writers will be able to pen
their magnum opus free-hand, safe in the knowledge that their work won’t need
typing up afterwards.
All in all, an incredible piece of technology that will
change the way you write. You’ll still write like a retarded monkey though.
£100-£150 depending on where you buy.
