How this AI-powered ballpoint pen brings the joy of analog writing to the digital world

The pen is mightier than the sword, and that aphorism remains true even in this highly digital age. In fact, there has been a renaissance of interest and even passion for handwritten notes, giving birth to a myriad of paper-based productivity systems and beautiful notebooks, as seen on YouTube. Unfortunately, it’s also hard to deny the advantages and conveniences of digital notes, particularly in terms of organization and searching. Fortunately, there is no longer any need to choose between the two when you can have the best of both worlds thanks to this innovative AI-powered ballpoint pen that turns your handwritten scribbles into digital notes, whether you’re writing on craft paper or on the back of an envelope.

There is a certain appeal to the age-old art of writing things by hand, not to mention the cognitive and psychological benefits that the practice brings. Unfortunately, it’s also no longer possible to ignore the drawbacks of paper notes, especially ones that get lost or are hard to decipher months or even just weeks later. There are quite a few products trying to bridge the gap between analog and digital, but these often require the use of special paper that doesn’t feel like paper, special pens that may be discontinued in the unforeseen future, or both.

The Nuwa Pen is a revolutionary solution that approaches the problem from a different angle. You can use your favorite stationery or grab any piece of paper within reach, and standard D1 ballpoint refills are never going away. Instead, the Nuwa Pen employs an innovative TRIDENT imaging system to see what you’re writing and harnesses the power of AI to digitize those ink marks that can be saved to a digital file. The result is complete freedom to write what you want on whatever kind of paper you want, confident that you’ll be able to easily search through them as if you had typed the notes directly.

Searchable Notes: Keep track of your notes

Text Conversion: Exact copy of your notes

Augmented Notes: Stay connected

This AI-powered Ballpoint Pen, however, does more than just digitize your handwritten notes. Although the pen itself has 2Gb of built-in memory, you can also send your notes to the Nuwa Pen App for unlimited cloud storage. And with the Nuwa Pen+ subscription, you’ll be able to convert your scribbles into searchable text and, soon, connect those notes with over a hundred apps, including Google Calendar, Todoist, emails, and more. With its built-in battery, you can write non-stop for 2 hours before needing to charge the Nuwa Pen in just 15 minutes. The included charging case lets you do that five more times, giving you nearly unlimited freedom to put your thoughts on paper and, in the long run, on the cloud.

Starting at $234, not only do you get the well-designed ballpoint pen and its charging case, you also get a one-year Nuwa Pen+ subscription. With the AI-powered Nuwa Pen, you no longer have to choose between the joys of writing and the conveniences of digital notes. Write on your favorite paper, digitize your notes, and sync with the cloud to let your thoughts and ideas take you to new heights and new worlds.

This IoT ballpen uses built-in cameras and sensors to convert all your notes into a digital format

Instead of spending nearly a grand on an iPad Pro and Pencil, the Nuwa Pen is a $179 device (pre-order price) that just actively digitizes your notes and doodles in real-time. Announced at CES 2023, the Nuwa looks just like any other ordinary pen, but comes with a built-in motion sensor and a triple camera array that captures what you’re writing, whether it’s a post-it note or a full-length essay, and saves a digital version of it, sharing it with you through the Nuwa app. All your notes are end-to-end encrypted too, which is more than what you can say for most note-taking apps.

Designer: Nuwa Innovation

The Nuwa pen outwardly looks pretty much like any other pen. There aren’t any wires, the gadget isn’t bulky. It looks sleek for the most part, and just has a slightly bulbous tip, where the sensors and cameras sit. Support for an infrared light sensor also allows the Nuwa to work in lower light conditions. The Nuwa pen is equipped to detect 4096 pressure levels, with the combination of sensors working in tandem to capture a high-quality version of your text in your unique handwriting. “Handwriting represents a deeply personal form of thinking”, says Nuwa’s founder and CEO, Mark Tunier.

The pen runs on a standard D1 ink cartridge that can easily be replaced once it runs out. Replacing the refill is easy too, and can be done without any technical expertise. On a full charge, the Nuwa can provide up to 2 hours worth of use, and can be recharged simply by resting it in its charging stand. The pen’s internal digitizing system only begins working when the pen touches paper, so as to cleverly optimize battery usage.

Notes are digitized right on the device and shared via Bluetooth to your phone. The Nuwa app can be used to sync your notes and take backups of them online, or even share them with team members via mail or through productivity tools. The Nuwa app is free of charge, although it does have a premium paid version that offers additional features like OCR which converts your handwritten text into an editable format.
