Ink Pen Records Handwriting and Creates Digital Copies


The Nuwa Pen utilizes three tiny cameras to capture what you write - on paper! - and save your notes in an accompanying app. I demoed the game-changing device at CES 2025.

You can then search your scribbles by content: names, numbers, and keywords, as well as interact with the app's built-in large language model to ask questions about what you've written. In a demo with Nuwa Pen founder Marc Tuinier at CES 2025, he told me that the technology involved in handwriting capture is complex, and has been the biggest hurdle in getting the device to perform at the level he'd like. It doesn't matter where you write -- whether in a notebook or on a napkin -- the ability to consolidate handwritten notes into a digital space that you can engage with is a valuable tool that opens up many possibilities.
