Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The SolidTek DM-L2 DigiMemo L2 8-1/2-by-11-Inch Digital Notepad is a stand-alone device that can digitally capture what you write and draw on regular paper--with no special paper or computer. The Digital Notepad remembers the strokes that you draw and when you are done, you simply plug the Notepad into your computer via USB and upload your notes. Then you will have both a digital and a paper copy. The included DigiMemo Manager software lets you easily view, edit, and organize your digital pages in Windows. The digital pages can be saved as BMP, JPG, GIF, or PNG formats. You can then easily share your digital pages with others, or highlight, annotate, and edit them.

When the pad is connected to a PC, it can function as a graphics tablet, with the writing on the paper and the writing on the screen synchronized. The DigiMemo L2 has a writing area of 8 by 11 inches and has 32 MB of built-in storage, with a CompactFlash memory card slot for expansion. The pad is light and thin, and isn't uncomfortable to hold or use. The battery of the pen can last about 14 months and the pad will last about 100 hours on four AAA alkaline batteries. The unit automatically shuts down after 30 idle minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Useful Product, September 16, 2007

By	Ralph L. Blankenshipbrown "MaryClare'sBaba" (West Columbia, S.C.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: SolidTek DM-L2 DigiMemo L2 8-1/2-by-11-Inch Digital Notepad (Electronics)

I have used the 8-1/2"x11" Digital Notepad every weekday for the past month to teach high school math classes. I use the on-line writing feature with a laptop connected to a projector to put notes on the board. I print these notes to pdf format using PrimoPDF and post them to a website. I use the Notepad off-line to write out and save solutions to exercises which would take too long to type in mathematical notation: these pages are easily downloaded from the Notepad's memory to a computer and printed to pdf format for posting on the web. After about 90 hours of use, I have found this product to be reliable and well worth the price.

This review is from: SolidTek DM-L2 DigiMemo L2 8-1/2-by-11-Inch Digital Notepad (Electronics)

I had earlier version (692) and this model (L2) is much better. I really like this product, and my colleagues are instantly impressed too. What I liked most is the in-line writing and tablet features. I plan to use this gadget to teach classes using the in-line feature so that I can have a complete copy of my classnotes in digital form for my own. Students will get the notes from my website as well.

I gave it a 4-star rating because of two issues:

1. There is no "erase" feature. I make a lot of mistakes when I write with a pen and I'd like to be able to correct them right away. If I were an engineer of Acecad, I'd make an "erasor" that erase mistakes on both paper and electronic copies simultaneously. The erasor could use the "liquid paper" to cover the mistakes on paper, and the tip sends the signal to do the same on the electronic copy. That should be easy to do.

2. The digimemo can't convert files to PDF directly.

I'd pay $100 more for the erasor feature, and $30 for the PDF conversion. I hope the Acecad CEO listens. Or, if some other commanies' CEOs listen, I'll switch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Whiteboarding and Communication Tool, May 27, 2008

By	Tad (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SolidTek DM-L2 DigiMemo L2 8-1/2-by-11-Inch Digital Notepad (Electronics)

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!
