Customer Reviews:

Effective Product [Posted on 2008-04-03]
I attend a lot of meetings in which I have to take notes (many of which are in the form of diagrams). Sometimes I'm at the "big" table, sometimes I'm in the seats along the wall. When I'm at the table, this device is a lot less distracting and less intimidating than my laptop. When I'm in the cheap seats, I can still take notes without trying to balance a laptop on my knees.

The character recognition S/W works pretty well and saves a lot of transcription time. Still, even without the OCR, for the reasons above, it's an effective device.

On the lighter side, it captures my doodles and cartoons I make while taking notes.

I must say I'm pretty happy with the purchase and recommend it to anyone who attends meetings or has to take notes in the course of their day.

Excellent Whiteboarding and Communication Tool [Posted on 2008-05-27]
I've used this product for the last two months. Reviewing now that I've decided it's a great business tool and not just a cool gizmo. This product excels in creating quick meeting notes and diagrams.

Main selling point for me was a normal sized pen but the included software turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

I can save directly to PDF when viewing the doc online or copy the images into word, etc.

Also allows a real-time whiteboard, in online writing mode, that can be shared via LiveMeeting or WebEx - allowing folks on conference calls to see what is being discussed in the room.

Included software does a great job in grabbing shapes when you wish to colorize your offline work. This allows generation of in-team documents very quickly instead of using diagram software that could take hours.

Love that it uses regular paper and that you can buy extra pens for alternate colors while drawing.

Great communication tool!

Don't know about '07 Reviews, but this product is Spot ON! [Posted on 2008-05-31]
I purchased this 4 days ago primarily to help me write a white paper, with concept flows and diagrams. Transfers to the computer perfectly; saved as a Pdf and sent a copy to a coleague. Today I'm working on version 2! The erase ability that a reviewer said wasn't there; is doable; but online. In which case you'd have to correct your written notes manually. Not perfect; but the primary function I would like out this...concept writing, meeting notes, and turn them around almost instantly in typed form is there! Great value for the money.

As advertised [Posted on 2008-06-03]
I purchased this product because I seem to take a lot of notes at meetings and have a hard time organizing them. The first one I received had some issues. I emailed the company about the problem, but never did get a real response. I sent the product back to amazon and was immediately sent a replacement (amazon has the best customer service I ever seen).

The second product works exactly as advertised. I've been using it daily for about the last 2 weeks. It reproduces my written notes on the computer exactly as they are on paper. The ability to edit the notes with the ACECAD provided software and save the file in PDF format has been invaluable. My only desire (not a complaint) would be wireless connectivity to the computer; the USB cable can get in the way at times.

Overall this product has turned out to be exactly what it was advertised to be. I would do it again for the same results.

Doesn't record anything = overpiced clipboard [Posted on 2008-06-10]
I was very much looking forward to getting this pad to use at work. No matter how I try, it will not record any penstrokes. It can detect the pen in tablet mode (the LED turns from red to green when the tip is on the surface), and I can even move the cursor with it, but it won't record a thing. The "pen" icon would never appear in the LCD display, no matter how hard or light I pressed on one (!) sheet of paper.

This thing is an overpriced clipboard and it's being sent back.
