The DigiMemo A502 is a stand-alone device with built-in storage capability that digitally captures and stores everything you write or draw with ink on ordinary A5 sized paper. The device can be used independently of a computer and does not require the use of special paper. Documents that have been digitally captured by DigiMemo can then be downloaded on to a computer, where they can be viewed, edited, organised and either stored as e-Books, image files or converted into text via the optional MyScript Notes handwriting recognition software.
Features

The internal memory can hold up to 100 pages of A5 writing/drawing (expandable via Compact Flash memory cards).
Download captured documents to a computer via USB, where they can be viewed, edited and shared via the supplied DigiMemo Manager software (also freely available as a download for others to use).
