Kokuyo’s CamiApp brings paper back to notice-taking (video)

Between Samsung’s Galaxy Note and the Boogie Board Rip , a mini-trend emerged at IFA last week with companies trying to bridge the distance between paper notebooks and digital devices. Japanese office supply manufacturer Kokuyo is asking to get in at the action, utilizing devices that buyers already own. In August, the company’s CamiApp was released for iOS, with an Android version coming later this month. The app scans and digitizes handwritten text, letting users edit, highlight, email, tag and share the data with apps like Evernote and Dropbox . The apps are specially designed to work with forthcoming “smartphone-friendly” paper notepads from the corporate. In line with Kokuyo, the notebooks have “special features” that make digital capture easier. Eight different notebooks would be made available tomorrow. The corporate can be engaged on making the CamiApp notebooks available overseas.
