Using Aegir is as easy as putting pen to paper.
The Aegir does not have a built-in microphone, but the App can record audio while taking notes, as long as the App is running and the mobile device in a position to record the conversation. Did this answer your question? In order for this smartpen to make a digital recording, the pen uses an infrared digital camera.
The camera is located just below the tip of the pen. Go to the next image to find out what else is needed to record. Along with the camera, special paper is also required to document a visual copy. The special paper is covered in microscopic dots.
As you move the pen, the camera records the positions of the dots on the page. You can also give instructions to the pen by tapping on specific parts of the dotted paper. You can't have a pen without ink!
The slim ink cartridge is located near the digital camera. Andrew Leibs. Former Lifewire writer Andrew Leibs is an award-winning author with a particular expertise in technology that makes communication and reading more accessible.

But manuscript has by degrees become removed from the center of cultural life, for anything but the most ritualized activities, like signatures. There is something powerful about the connection between the ear, hand, and eye that happens in manuscript writing. A device that augments the essential capacities of all three of these senses and brings their products into the digital world is a technology in which we should all find some hope.
Do you have more questions about smartpens? Let them rip in the comments, and I'll be happy to tell you what I know. Tim is a technology and media writer for Wired.
