Sunday June 14, 2009 - BIG'ant showcased the PULSE Smartpen launched in mid-2008 and introduce to Malaysia around last October or November. “We market PULSE across ASEAN, Oceania and the Middle-East and Australia currently is our biggest market,” said its regional managing director David Tan Jee Boon.
PULSE has two microphones, a speaker and an organic LED (OLED) display and when one writes, one can start an audio recording which it links to each point of the handwriting. In comes with a piece of software which prints out lines, a pattern of dots and icons resembling audio recorder, start, stop, playback, rewind, fast forward, speed up and volume control buttons on a blank sheets of paper used for writing and when one writes, it relates each point in the script with the relevant part of the audio so users simply need to point it at he a part of the script to replay that part of the audio recording at that point in time or to any of the button icons for it to perform that fuction. When docked with a PC it can synchronise with it and reproduce the entire set of notes on the PC and a third-party software called myScript to convert the handwriting to text. PULSE works with Windows and MAC OS platforms and costs RM599 with 1GB of memory, while the 2GB model costs RM799.  David Tan writing with PULSE
