The Mobile NoteTaker is a unique standalone tracking device that captures handwritten notes and sketches.

They can then be stored for future reference, transferred by email or local network and inserted into other documents. You can also set reminders so that your notes pop-up on designated days or time.
With easy USB installation and simple to use software and compact hardware, the Mobile NoteTaker is an ideal solution for people who need to jot down notes while not sitting in front of a PC
