[Athen] Smart Pen Question/Idea

[Heather Mariger via athen-list]

Greetings

Apologies for the cross-posting. We have been trying to figure out the best
way for our math instructors to be able to post their handwritten notes
after class so that they are more inclusive.

I know that there are smart pens that can record notes and convert
handwriting to text so we had the idea that maybe this could be a way to
make instructor's in-class notes more accessible.

However, I have not worked at all with smartpens so I have some questions:

   - Are they also able to convert math formulas?
   - How good is the text conversion and how much work will it require from
   the instructors to go from handwritten to text?
   - Does it require special paper or can they be used on a tablet or
   touch screen?
   - Do you have any recommendations for a Smartpen that would work for our
   needs?
   - Is this even a possibility or am I wildly naive?

Thanks so much for your help.
H.
