The Adesso CyberPad is really two products in one. First it is a notepad for anyone who takes lots of notes and does not want to either transfer them to electronic form by scanning, copying, or re-typing them via a word processor. It is also a graphics tablet that will allow you to draw directly in many products including Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, or other programs that support tablets.
Adesso CyberPad comes as a complete package with everything that you need to get going out of the box. It comes with the tablet, the battery operated pen, three ink cartridges for the pen, a USB cable to connect to your computer, software to both run the driver, as well as accessory software, rechargeable batteries and a battery charger, a tablet of note pad paper, and a portfolio to hold your tablet, pen, and other items.
The accessory programs that come with the Adesso CyberPad tablet are:
• My Ink/My Form – an application that gives you the ability to view and manage your handwriting documents and allows them to be translated to a digital format. It converts you handwritten documents to a .TOP file which can also be converted to bitmap (.bmp), JPEG (.jpg), and Acrobat (.pdf) which gives you different ways of retaining and sharing your hand written notes.
• Free Notes – allows you to draw and write notes from your tablet and then insert them into your emails and other files.
• Power Presenter RE II – lets you turn your screen into a Whiteboard/Blackboard with Microsoft PowerPoint. You can save all handwriting, annotation, and notes within a presentation.
• Office Ink – lets you create digital signatures in almost any application.
• riteMail – can read CyberPad document files to transferring your handwriting to text. It supports and recognizes 4 languages; English, French, German, and Russian.
To run Adesso CyberPad you need a Pentium II or higher computer that runs Windows Vista, XP, or 2000, 128 MB of Ram or more, at least 32MB of hard-drive space, and a USB port.
So how does the Adesso CyberPad work? The two main areas that I worked with were the note taking and the graphics tablet. From my stand point, that is why I would want this product. I played with the handwriting recognition software a little bit, but you have to train it to recognize how you make letters. From my point of view I can type faster than I can write, so if it is something that need in that format, I would type it.
