Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)InkLink is technically slick, but if you are considering it as a way to take notes in any significant volume (like meeting notes in a business setting), forget InkLink due to serious usability problems. However, for very low volume purposes, it does work well. The device itself is flawless. Its ability to accurately capture writing is almost spooky, except for very small dots or tics that sometimes don't register (not a big deal). Problems come in when you try to use InkLink in real-world settings, not just a single page of test doodling. When I take meeting notes, I constantly flip back and forth to add or revise notes in the relevant part of the notes written earlier in the meeting. But InkLink can't function if the paper is folded up and back as you normally would do with a legal pad -- since this blocks its IR receivers. So if your paper is perforated on the top edge, you have to tear off each page before you move to the next. Not only do you have to click on your Palm/etc. device to inform InkLink of which page you are on as you move between (paper) pages, you also have to hold a now-torn-off sheet in its original position (accurately) while updating your notes on that page. The problem is different if you have a side-perforated pad (spiral-bound) -- here there is no need to tear off pages, but instead there is no good way to clip the InkLink device to the pad. Legal pads have a solid binding area at the top, but spiral-bound pads are "all page" -- to move from page to page, you have to unclip / reclip the device as well as click on the Palm/etc. Taking notes in this manner is 100% impractical, although it is very amusing to those around you. I suppose if you could rig up a way to put a spiral notebook in a portfolio at a fixed distance from a separately mounted InkLink device, it may be tolerable. There are other issues with how the captured notes are managed on the PC -- not great but would work for many people. The only clearly indicated use of the InkLink is single-page captures, perhaps as a one-off diagramming / sketching tool.

The Seiko Instruments InkLink handwriting system is the ultimate tool for instantly capturing your handwriting or drawings directly to your handheld, laptop, or desktop PC.
It's easy to use, works on ordinary paper up to legal size, and easily clips onto 50-page tablets. Plus InkLink comes with its own carrying case that fits in a pocket or purse.
Using Seiko's exclusive binaural technology, the InkLink Data Clip continuously listens for communications from the InkLink pen while it tracks the natural movement of your hand. As you write anywhere on the paper pad with the InkLink pen, the InkLink Data Clip reads precisely the location of the pen tip and communicates its exact position to your handheld, laptop, or desktop PC.
Sounds complicated? Believe it or not, InkLink is about as difficult to use as a paper clip. With InkLink, all you have to do is think it, ink it, and link it.
