smartpen recommendations

[maark]

I have a request from staff that are taking lots of notes in meetings and want a smartpen to automatically transcibe notes as they are finding it too time consuming.

They want to use paper not tablet - don't want to use surface pro and we have no ipad pros.

Livescribe seem to get best reviews but are about £180 and you need to buy special paper - sets of notebooks at £20 a go.

Have seen reviews of EQUIL SMART PEN 2 but don't seem to be available in UK

Is anybody using anything and give me any recommendations?

Got my doubts about how well it would work but open to ideas.

Thanks

How much is a typing lesson?

 

Could just scan them in and OCR https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/User-Projects-%E2%80%93-3rdParty

Don't think ocr works very well with handwriting - just thought there must be someone out there using a smartpen?

We bought one a number of years ago for the heads PA. She seemed to like it and find it useful but she is also very competent and quick at shorthand, so passed it onto someone who has unfortunately now left, so I can't ask them nor can I find the pen.
