Smartpen Checks Your Spelling As You Write
People are losing some their abilities like writing, cooking, sewing etc these days.
Maybe some of them are not very important in modern life, but writing and in fact correct writing is very vital for most people.
But don’t worry! Technology can solve all problems even your spelling weakness.
CNN reported, an ingenious prototype pen developed by a German start-up is promising to give our longhand writing a similar sort of safety net.
Lernstift (German for “learning pen”) is a digital pen with a difference, carrying not only ink inside its casing but also a tiny computer that alerts users to spelling errors.
Daniel Kaesmacher, co-founder of Lernstift told CNN: “Basically there are two functions.
The calligraphy mode which helps you correct individual letters, and the orthography mode which vibrates when a word is misspelled.”
The AAA battery-powered Linux computer includes a vibration module and a patent pending non-optical
motion sensor which recognizes specific movements and shapes of letters and words.
The pen employs a menagerie of sensors, including a gyroscope (for measuring orientation), accelerometer
(for calculating propulsion) and magnetometer (a device that measures the strength and direction of magnetic fields) — all to calculate the pen’s 3-D movements.
