If you’ve ever wanted to capture your real-time drawing or sketching, RoWrite has heard your wish. Royole Corporation’s newest product does just that, and does it with ease.
The RoWrite portfolio holds a pad of paper approximately 6” wide and 9” top-to-bottom, along with a pen that uses regular ink. Capable of 2048 force-touch sensitivity, each stroke of the pen is recorded as accurately as possible for highly detailed rendering.
The portfolio itself is approximately 8-1/2” x 11” and has a nice fabric textured finish that projects a quality image. The cover folds back on itself for handy notetaking. Pockets on the inside cover will hold an additional pad, business cards, etc.
The RoWrite is the first pen to digital product that I’ve used that doesn’t lag or skip when writing at a quick clip. Write or draw and the pad will capture each stroke. The pen uses an enclosed AAAA battery but standard pen refills will work.
All your writing or drawing is captured in one of two ways – either to the built-in memory of the portfolio or if you have your phone, it can be captured to the RoWrite app.
With the app, you can select from a choice of writing instruments with adjustable line widths, and add up to 20 colors. Digital erasing is possible as well. Sketch in black ink on your pad and then add color in the app later if you like.
Want to really impress your friends? Send them a video so they can watch your creation from start to finish – all from within the app. Apps are available for both Android and iOS devices.
When you are completed with a drawing, you can save to the portfolio, to your phone with the app, or to any of a number of cloud services like Dropbox, Evernote, One Note, and Google Drive.
My only regret with the product is that the enclosed two pads of paper are not perforated or designed for the sheets to be removed. Trying to tear out a sheet left me with ragged edges along the top.
