TECHNICAL SEMINAR ON SMART QUILL www.technox.org
INTRODUCTION What is SMART QUILL? History of Smart Quill. Smart Quill and Digital Pen. www.technox.org
SMART QUILL “ A pen that can remember the words that it is used write, and then transform them into computer text” www.technox.org
HISTORY Inventor Lyndsay William of Microsoft Developed by British Telecom research laboratory www.technox.org
Digital Pen …? What are the digital pens? How Smart quill differs from digital pens.. Digital pen www.technox.org 5

Handwriting Recognition & Signature Verification Accelerometer technology Handwriting Recognition Software www.technox.org
Accelerometer Technology Working Tiny accelerometer Types of Accelerometer 2 axes-ADXL 202 3 axes-tronic +/-2g www.technox.org
Handwriting Recognition Software Two major phases Handwriting Transcription Handwriting Recognition www.technox.org
Handwriting transcription Acceleration signals Transcription result www.technox.org
Communication with other devices Earlier communication is through radio transmitter Currently it is done via a cable and an ‘inkwell’ Future models provide wireless facility www.technox.org
Memory 4MB EEPROM Capacity- 10 pages www.technox.org
Power AAA Battery (44.5mm long,10.5mm in diameter & 11.5gm in weight) Run for 25 hrs on single battery Automatic power on/off system www.technox.org
Application Used as ordinary pen(ink catridge) Replace keyboard with Smart Quill Handheld comp application(alarm,clock,contacts) the wireless messaging system which allows two way communications voice record and supports speech recognition. www.technox.org
Advantages "Spatial Sensing" system Intuitive user interface Security Handwriting recognition Signature verification Power saving Smart Quill is all mobile www.technox.org
Conclusion The future of Smart Quill ensures all computation power the user needs right inside the pen. Reducing the size of handheld computers can only be taken so far before they become unusable. The introduction of Smart Quill is the best solution for this problem. www.technox.org
