SolidTek DigiMemo 692 Digital Notepad with Memory

The digital pad works very well. There are 2 problems: Unable to find 6" x 9" pads in office supply stores; no provision to use a 6" x 9" notebook vice a pad.

I bought this with great hopes.. I even threw out the box.. then the pen did not work and the system quit. Tech support via email was helpful but now I need to try and find a service place in the USA to either send it to or contact them to fix it. Not really worth my time.. and I wished I would have not bought it and applied the money to my new iPad which is fantastic! Bye-bye kindle.. hello iPad ebooks!

Got this for my grandaughter for Christmas, did not know you had to buy another program to read her writing so it is virtually useless unless I spend another 100.00 very disappointed

I ordered one from J&R over the weekend and received it Wednesday. I'm very happy about it so far.The product actually looks and feels a lot better than its picture projects. The operation is very easy and straightforward.The notepad is the standard 6x9 (the actual writing size is a bit smaller: 5.9x8.3; but who cares?), available almost everywhere. (I bought a 200-page writing pad 6x9 from Stop & Shop for $4.00. I'm sure less expensive ones are available elsewhere.)The built-in memory card allows for at least 160 pages before the memory is full. With CF card so cheap nowadays, one can easy get a separte card to use.Battery life (4 AAA) is 100 hr. I think it's a very good deal overall. If you are thinking of getting a tablet PC to do digital hand-writing, this one should be better in that regard, since it's much lighter and less expensive.COns:1) Despite that the software is very nice, it does not do OCR. As a result, your handwriting cannot be converted later into a text file. Although personally I don't think it's a big deal, it would be the software could do that, given today's OCR technology.1) It doesn't come with a protective case. For something like that, you really cannot treat it like a $4 pad. It would be nice if it comes with a leather case we can put it in and carry it around. But I guess one can get one portfolio to deal with that.

This Digimemo pad is great, dont let anybody tell you different. I bought it for a high school Geometry course, and so far it has been amazing!! It records your words at the lightest touch, very easy to use. One piece of advice, if you have a mac, the CD that comes with it wont work. You have to download the software on its website, but thats not a problem at all. In other words, its a great product thats easy to use and very very portable!

I use this notepad to take notes during meetings. The great advantage to me is that there is an electronic version of my notes that I can file away.Other reviewers have made adverse comments about product quality -- I have had a good experience. The unit I bought seems well made, and has so far (3 months use) functioned well. Also, the paper pad for this is easily available. Look for the CVS or Mead brand 6x9 writing tablet and it should fit the Digimemo 692 perfectly.There are three drawbacks you should be aware of:Sometimes, there are ghost lines, or some words get dropped off. Generally this is not a big issue, but nevertheless, it is an annoyance. It is remedied (for the most part) by holding the pen straight, and using uniform pressure.It is a digital note taker -- but will require extra software if you want to convert your notes to text. I've not felt the need, but be advised.The Mini-USB cable's mini-USB end is thinner than the regular mini-USB cable. So if you lose your cable, your choices are to (a) buy a new one from the manufacturer or (b) take a regular mini-USB cable and file off the plastic around the part that goes into the device until it fits in.With these caveats, the digimemo is a good device for taking notes and preserving an electronic copy of them on your laptop. Paired with software like PDF995, you can easily and inexpensively store all your notes as PDF documents.

I wanted this DigiMemo to do whiteboarding in online meetings like before, alas, it lost the capability with Windows 7. Really sad

one of the worst waste of money ever .... some may like it but , it's not for me ... sorry , i hate to be negative but , it's the truth
