Moleskine Smart Writing Set tutorial

[@acerbitas252]

I don't understand the bashing of this product here in the comments. It's a briliant product, for people who have the need for this. I personally can't write and use notes on tablets as intuitively as on paper. Yet, I love to have my notes digital, sort and share them there, add pictures afterwards etc. This is the perfect crossover solution. I tried it in a shop, it works smoothly. The pen saves every movement correctly, the page of the notebook is recognized ever time, text recognition is very very good (taking into account my horrible handwriting).

The point is sustainability, to stop using paper!

[@ricdonato4328]

ana parcetic: Sustainability? Paper is a renewable product, highly sustainable. blog.franklinplanner.com/myth-busting/ www.twosides.info/sustainable-products/ newsroom.domtar.com/paper-sustainability-myths/ There are many sites as the above. The making of your digital devices from the gathering of raw material, up to the moment you have it in your hands used a considerable amount of non-sustainable energy and resources, causes considerable pollution as well (think about the chemical throughout the process that must be disposed of. If you believe paper is not sustainable then truly you are either ill informed, grossly under informed, or completely clueless.

I was in Roma today & saw this product 1 st hand…. I Don’t ever write digitally … all my notes are with a pen or pencil … a lifetime of NOTES & journals… now I can have an original journal & all my hand written notes on the App… this is brilliant tech for old school writers. I love it. It’s a bit expensive 246 Euro & restricted to actual MOLESKIN journals so your forever having to purchase that particular model of journal… but it’s a fair trade off for a lifetime of works that means a lot. ART ! 🎥🖋🖋🎥

[@JustASceneToHate]

This is perfect for someone like me. I want to write a book but I do not feel inspired or emotional when typing, but i prefer my stories to be text docs, not handwritten because eventually I would have to manually transcribe my handwriting to text in order to post or publish it and that is so time-consuming. I love how I feel when I am writing with ink. I think this is a great for authors and poets.

[@kanjinha]

did the book come out already?

[@firmagaver]

Fantastic! I have bought one and it suites me so fine! All my notes are saved for ever and ever. Either in the physical notebook or as an uploaded file. Never having to transfer notes into CRMs and files after meetings. Fabolous!!! ES Do not have to be connected to the net all the time, which happens from time to time :-)

[@BjrnRemseth]

Wonderful to see someone with actual experience with the product comment on it. I'm wondering if I should get one of these. I'm pretty good at typing :-), but I find that when studying I make better notes by hand than when typing. However, keeping track of paper notes is a mess, and carrying them with me at all times is just not an option. I've seen a number of products promising basically the same thing as this product, and I briefly tried LiveScribe, but it did not live up to its promises. SmartWriting is a bit expensive to buy on a whim, so I'm counting on enough evaluations from real users to accumulate before I make a decision one way or another.

[@roychehwane8821]

One question, what happens when you run out of papers?

[@firmagaver]

You have to buy another book :-). If you are a consumer customer you can order it through Moleskine netstore: store.moleskine.com/nor/en-gb/smart-writing-set/paper-tablet/p1015?ic=rhyY%2FA%3D%3D

[@mackenziecox8700]

"consumer customer", not to be a skeptic but those are the same thing. By your last name it appears you have been assimilated, therefore I don't trust your review.

[@jonazangeloseno4053]

can it erase your writings

[@MacLethal]

I'm not mad at this, I guess, but it seems pointless. I carry a Moleskine because I don't want to have a bunch of devices to worry about. Do you have to always have the tablet with you or can the pen save your writing strokes and digitize them later? It seems like you have to carry around 3 things now (the pen, the moleskin, and the tablet) which just makes it a huge pain in the ass.

[@gmorozzo]

+Mac Lethal, Hi Mac, no you dont have to carry the device. The pen records up to a 1.000 pages. You can then sync the notebook whit the app at a later stage

[@lorenzobartolo6441]

+giovanni morozzo 1,000? or 1.000 ???

[@gmorozzo]

One thousand

[@voxodoo]

+Mac Lethal That is why you should take a look at Outliers Notebook :)

[@cathalwhelehan]

I've only just watched this for the first time ten minutes ago and was going to ask the same question as Mac Lethal. It was a comment the presenter makes at about 4:02 (it almost seems deliberately concealed there) that the pen won't record changes if the pen is not connected (or words that seemed to be to that general effect). Your version sounds much better, thanks.

[@tr2n09]

Easier cheaper solution = write in notebook, photograph pages with Office Lens or similar via smart phone, auto-upload to cloud.

[@GabrielRamirez-uv8ce]

Don't be a fucking buzzkill

[@hosemarian]

1. Can it work without this notebook? Write on any paper? 2. How long the battery lasts in pen? 3. Does the notebook need also to be charged? 4. What happens when you run ouf of pages in notebook? 5. Can You write without ink? 6.Does the data will be storaged if it runs out of battery? 7. Can we use it to sync with other devices than ipad (mac or phone?) 8. What format in document it can be saved? 9. What languages does it recognize to switch handwritten text?

[@RodriguezTrendy]

Did people asking whether or not it supports offline sync even mind watching the whole video? Sometimes writing on actual paper can be more accurate than writing on a glass surface and there are often situations (e.g. certain in meetings) where people react very sensitive to others carrying laptops or tablets around. Since the pen is not using proprietary but standard refill tips I think the product is actually kinda useful. It may turn out as a niche product in the end, but I think it is definetly worth giving it a try.

[@jsbtools7026]

I would be more interested in this product if you could write on any paper, or any grid book

[@prescott231233]

Is it good for people who write really fast and sloppy? Because I would get it, but I don't know how responsive it is.

[@CharlieTheAstronaut]

This is awesome, i was looking for this! Always loved moleskine.

[@janoat]

Overpriced toy at the moment, but the idea is GREAT.

[@alessiomancini5776]

A question....Can I use this pen in a normal paper with the same results ora I must use only moleskine book?

[@justynea7171]

I've heard that it works on any paper but I think the best results is this book (I saw it in real life and it has even smaller squares on the pages which I assume helps with recognition)

[@melloncollie1795]

ok

[@melloncollie1795]

@@justynea7171 sorry

[@bendoerksen]

Can you buy the book by itself if you run out of pages on the first book, or do you have to get another bundle with the pen?

Does it work on any paper after you finish the one that comes with it?

[@nandinirajrajan]

Can't describe my surprise and excitement

Just awesome. Though the concept can take some effort to understand - when I first saw it a few years ago I was like, why bother. But nowadays I appreciate the process.

[@deedward9]

Hello, I purchased this set on Monday from Barnes & Noble and so far the only thing my pen will do is beep while I'm writing in the included notebook. Any help or ideas. I'm using it with a iPhone 6S iOS 10.3.2 the latest version.

[@Pedro_A_M_Fernandes]

Does this work with any regular paper notebook? Or needs to be the one from Moleskine? What happens when i reach the end of Moleskine notebook? Do I have to buy another from Moleskine?

[@cameronshandrow5339]

Is there any way you can actually erase on the paper? And do you have to have the app on while you're using?

[@hanestetico]

I don't see anything "Smart" in this Smart Writing Set. I wonder why not just write in your tabler or notebook? Why don't make a single sheet pad on which ink can be erased? This smart writing set could be only useful in sketching, because it might avoid scanning drawings. Nonetheless i think this pen has not pressure sensitivity ( unlike other competitor products like the professional wWcoms ones), so i think it could be used only for simple, low quality linearts.

[@adorm]

It saves every line you make as a vector - so your lineart will be of the highest quality actually. It gives you the option to export your sketches or text in various formats and the pen is pressure sensitive, so you get a very accurate representation of your sketch, but its purpose is different to that of a wacom tablet. The main draw for this product is the sketching and in app editing abilities, great for conceptualising in creative fields. It also has the ability to transcribe like Livescribe and record audio.

[@humanityexe2607]

i guess they are trying to get rid of scanners for artist use? i dunno

[@Deankut]

The important fact you're missing here is that you can search your notes digitally in seconds, versus having to flip through multiple pages and/or books. Otherwise, it could take forever to find what you're looking for and also, if you were to lose the notebook, it is stored for forever in the cloud, so nothing is ever lost.

[@7fxcyndershade]

You can literally do all of this and more with a basic Cintiq

[@mimked]

7FXCyndershade Yeah, but a basic Cintiq is considerably more expensive than the Moleskine. Plus you don't get the instant hard copy with the Cintiq. Digital has its perks, but it isn't always the best to be all digital all the time.

[@allyjay4733]

This looks awesome! Although I just wonder what will happen if I run out of paper.. It only responds to that particular type of paper so would I have to buy a new notebook? I feel like I'd be too scared to write anything at all due to the price of it. But it would be great for art projects.

[@mimked]

Ally Cassidy You get new notebooks, but they're a lot cheaper than the price of the whole system (176 page notebook for around $20)

[@misskitty285]

It's not erasable, though, is it? I'd be able to write on paper, erase when I make a mistake, or have finished the notebook (and it's all on the cloud anyway) - and save a couple of trees along the way, by being able to reuse the same notebook.

[@KiLLJoYYouTube]

@@mimked couldn't i write on regular paper?

[@mimked]

@@KiLLJoYKZbin apparently not. The notebook use special paper with an invisible-to-the-eye infrared pattern that the pen recognizes to know which page you're on. So I don't know if it would work with normal paper.

[@myzel394]

This Set looks cool! I've got some questions. How long does the battery stands and does this also works with normal paper?

[@OctopusEight]

From what ive seen, It does not work with normal paper because the paper of the notebook has special dots that allow the pen to understand its location and page!

Does it recognize cursive writing? And does it learn your handwriting with time?

Hi Scarlett, we would like to confirm that our Pen+ Ellipse, part of the Smart Writing System, does indeed recognize cursive writing, but it doesn't learn the handwriting of the user.

[@1Ludwigsburg]

How come I cannot find the program on google for my chromebook?

[@skeingamepodcast5993]

Couldn't you also just take pics of your regular notebook using Evernote? Or some other app that changes your handwritten notes into typing, pdf, jpg etc? It would be great if I could use any paper. Or if it would capture my handwriting on any surface and just remember the strokes without actually writing with a pen tip.

[@JohnSmith-li6mn]

So from my standpoint this is like for a professor or like a head job manager person cause they would be able to project it on a screen my only question is if it still registers you writing if you take the ink out cause honestly then it could be used for demonstrations or flashpoint type stuff like what teachers use.

[@drsilviocostajrgeriatria3217]

What have I to do when the paper finish? Is this special paper?

[@antoniskyriakou327]

HAHA!YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE. THAT IS THE CATCH!!FUCK IT.

Yes, it uses special paper in the smart notebooks. So when you fill one notebook up, you'll need to get a new one.

Can we erase the message directly through the notebook ?

[@OneBraveSoulBeauty]

Does it work if I write on regular paper? Isn’t the pen just tracking my movements?

[@Never_again_against_anyone]

No, it does not work with regular paper. There is something called "NCode" on the paper that allows for orientation in the digitalization of the notes. But one can download pdfs to print this paper on their own. I do not know if this works just as well, though and have not found reports on this aspect either.

[@mockingjay478]

The only thing preventing me from getting this is how limited the pen is. I almost exclusively use fountain pens to write. Due to the colours being much easier with dyslexia and the tip being much easier to write with due to my physical disabilities. This system would be really helpful for me, but when writing, a ballpoint restricts me to only a few sentences, destroying my workflow.

[@PensaciBene]

Buy more pens

[@britney358]

Same. This would be great if I could use any pen

[@alphabears6342]

So what if the pen dies? You can't use it nor the notebook for 30 min? Also, it looks like you can use the pages only once and after that, you have to go to the next page until your out of pages. For someone that is a minimalist and eco conscious, this moleskin is not for me. I will keep using my Rocket book where i can keep using the same notebook until i either die or i loose my notebook. The moleskin smart notebook is a great concept for someone that has the money to buy a new "specialized" notebook every time your done with this one and for someone that is trying to do good but doing it the wrong way. With my Rocket book, i can use the same page over and over and over again by using a heat source or by wiping it with a damp cloth. And the pen, i can find it anywhere and i can still use the pen to write on other notebooks.

Very interesting and informative. Allow me to comment on the music: Background music in not necessary. Please be aware we came here to hear you not music. Your excellent presentation was ruined by the background music. Your music choice was pleasant, however during your presentation music is extremely annoying and distracting. Many folks have hearing and language comprehension difficulties thus while you are talking your audience must fight the background noise; yes the music becomes noise. Music in the beginning and end is okay, when you are talking it is never okay. Notice, TV news reporters, professors, folks giving business presentations, preachers, and the like, when they are talking they never play music. Reason, they want their audience completely understanding that which is being stated.
