Michael R. Drake Said: Perfectly meets my needs. Highly Recommend! ( Aug. 8th 2009 )
I am not a PDA or Day Planner kind of guy. I take notes, lots of notes, because I remember what I hear and see but need notes to prove what was said at times to others. However, finding what I need in written notes is a task. Now, that problem is solved. The notes are easy to keep as PDF files, can be labeled and made searchable. While the Pen for the cyberpad looks and feels a little awkward at first, you are able to quickly adapt to it and it does not cramp my hand or make it tired. Not only would I receommend the Cyberpad, but have. Several people at work are buying them and the quality department is interested in the smaller version for the inspectors to use to maintain didgital records of inspections and finds. The downloaded files can be emailed and everyone can open a PDF. Many other formats for the files are available, also. I still have a lot of experimenting to do with the software but it does show a lot of promise. Several reviews were crtical of the resolution of the pad. If you want a digitiizer or hi-res graphics pad, go buy one for $500 - $1000. This pad is great for what it is made to do, capture notes and basic graphics. Don't try to "cheap-out" for $125-$150 if you do not plan to use it for its intent. Will buy again and highly recommend.
Baby's dad Said: Pretty good buy for the money ( May. 12th 2009 )
I have been very pleasantly surprised with the working of the Cyberpad. The driver for the PC tablet aspect works seamlessly in ppt presentations, allowing me to make annotations directly on the slide. The note taking capabilities as stand alone is also excellent and intuitive to use. My only concern is that as I own a MacBook Pro, it would be nice to also have the driver for Mac's OS. On the other hand, I installed the driver on the PC environment under the Mac (VMWare Fusion) and it also works well. All in all, pretty good buy for the money.
J. Davenport Said: Great for my needs, but for yours? ( Dec. 27th 2008 )
I am a chemistry graduate student who takes tons of notes. These notes are not all text, but graphs, equations with Greek letters, integration symbols etc.. I dont give two hoots about being able to convert to text. So why did I give this four stars? I am organizationally challenged. I have this ornate ability to write something down, and in two minutes, I can not find it. Now I just take my notes, and with the purchase of a third party program, I import it directly into MS one note. One note is another review all in itself, but I love it. I can take my written notes and organize them however I wish, add links to my voice recorded lectures that I take from my digital recorder and BAM, "insta" organize. There is no way I would even think of buying a tablet PC, so this was my only choice. Plus I have been doing a better job of keeping track of my hard copies which gives me two choices to view my notes. All in all I love this product, but it isn't perfect. The pen is HUGE. I am a 6'2" guy with oversized hands, and it feels uncomfortable in my hands. With a little practice, I got used to it. I do not know if a person with petite hands would ever feel comfortable using the pen or not. The software stinks!! I think I could get a few buddies together, and in a few weeks, we could probably write better software than some of the ones provided. You can get around this by using Blueeuclid ([ Click Here ]). They charge $5.99 for a license. This program allows you to import your notes directly to Microsoft One Note. For me, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. I hope this has helped you make your decision.
Jurgen Braungardt Said: Not Recommended ( Dec. 12th 2008 )
I cannot recommend this product. The software is difficult to use and very proprietary, and calling Tech support will get you nowhere. THey want extra money for a converter to export your notes to Onenote 2007. This converter is also a crappy piece of software.
Damodar Chetty Said: Amazing little performance enhancer! ( Nov. 25th 2008 )
Let me preface this review by saying that I'm a very visual person and am a firm believer that if you can draw it, you can understand it. As a software designer and architect, I'm often required to produce analyis and design models that represent the system being investigated or built. These models usually run the gamut from structured Unified Modeling Language diagrams (such as use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, etc.) to back-of-the-napkin type adhoc diagrams that are used to communicate concepts to team members. In my pre-CyberPad days, modeling required the use of software which was expensive in terms of transcription effort. Diagrams would remain on my whiteboard or sketchpad for a while before I had the time to redraw them into the computer. With the CyberPad, I can now diagram at will. I can email copies of pre-digested conceptual models to colleagues and solicit feedback early. The entry barrier of transcription has all but disappeared. In the months that I've been using this tool, I have been continually impressed with how easy it is to go from concepts in my head to actual images that can be represented on my computer. ============================================================================================ Road testing: ------------- I decided early on that I didn't want to monkey around with the gimmicky features of this device - such as hand writing recognition. So I chose to focus on its primary advertised benefit - its ability to convert free hand notes into an electronic form for transmission and archival. Here are some of my impressions: First the good: --------------- 1. The recording is phenomenal - it clearly records every single pen stroke that I make. The image is a bit fuzzy, but even my normal writing in cursive is clearly legible. However, the best results come from true diagrams - i.e., larger than usual text, with lots of white space in between. The results from taking detailed meeting minutes is a lot less thrilling. 2. I love the security of having a normal pen-and-paper backup in case the device has failed in some unnoticeable fashion. 3. Its faux-leather case fits well, is padded nicely, has enough compartments for odds and ends (like extra batteries), and looks professional enough to carry into meetings. 4. The ink in the refill has not run out yet - and I've used it pretty aggressively, with over 75 detailed diagrams drawn. 5. The accompanying My Ink software is adequate and zippy/reliable enough. Next, the not so good: ---------------------- 1. You need to be consciously aware of the page boundary - text close to the edges of the page will not be recorded. For safety, leave about a half-inch margin all around the writable surface. 2. Standard letter size (8.5 inches x 11 inches) paper does not extend all the way across from the clip to the elastic page holders on the other end. Instead, I start with Legal paper (8.5 x 14 inches) and then use a guillotine to chop off about 2 inches from the length (about 8.5 x 12 inches). This ensures that my pages fit like a glove into the holder. 3. To conserve batteries, the CyberPad turns itself off if no activity is detected for an extended period of time. While focusing on my drawing, I often overlooked that the pad had fallen asleep. A much needed enhancement would be to make the device power up automatically if it senses that the pen is being used - but for now, you need to watch the LCD screen closely. 4. It is very easy for the SD-card to unintentionally get ejected. The retaining elastic band at the top right of the pad actually runs directly over the card slot. So, even if you don't seat the card correctly, the band still holds it in place making it look like everything is okay. This slot is also difficult to get at, since it is hidden by the zipper of the case. 5. The power button is hard to reach and use since it is hidden behind the retaining elastic band at the top left of the pad. Why wasn't this simply added along the top surface of the pad - along with the 5 other buttons there? 6. The battery compartment is a similar issue. Rather than making it accessible along an edge, you must remove the pad from its cover before you can access the battery slots. 7. The My Ink software product is particularly "oopid-stay" as it doesn't remember anything about its past invocation. It won't remember the drive letter, the last location used, or the file type that was previously saved. What this means is unnecessary clicks each time you start up this software. ============================================================================================ Conclusion: ----------- Despite the cons, I'd still recommend a buy on this one. I can't imagine any other tool in the past 5 years that has helped improve my productivity as much as this device. The price is also lower than what I initially paid for it (about $50 less), making it an even better bargain today. However, it is not for everyone. Whereas, I found it life changing, some of my friends aren't sold on the concept in the least.
