Lernstift smart pen vibrates when you make spelling error. Rapidly changing technology has indeed made this world smart. From smart phones to smart TVs, the gadgets are becoming smarter with each passing day. A smart-pen has been developed by the Germans that is capable of detecting the spelling errors being committed by the user. Besides the errors, if the user’s handwriting is sloppy then also the pen would start issuing warnings by vibrating continuously.
Called Lernstift, the smart pen is quite similar to a regular pen and works requires the real ink to write. It is fitted with a special motion sensor and a small battery-powered Linux computer with a WiFi chip that brings together the smartness factor in the pen. The specific movements, letter shapes and know a wide assortment of words are recognised by the pen with the help of the installed technology.
The idea behind making the pen that is the brain child of Falk Wolsky came after he saw his 10-year-old son doing his homework. Speaking about the project, the other co-founder Daniel Kaesmacher said: “His son had been struggling with his work and staying focused and Falk thought there should be a pen that gives him some sort of signal so he stays focused. Users can choose between two functions: Calligraphy Mode – pointing out flaws of form and legibility or Orthography Mode – recognising words and comparing the word to a language database. If the word isn’t recognised it will vibrate.”
