A pen designed by German company Lernstift
can help youngsters and even adults learn to
write. The pen, which is at the prototype
stage, is capable of picking errors in spelling
or letter formation in real-time, delivering a
Users can choose between two functions:
Calligraphy Mode – pointing out flaws of
form and legibility or Orthography Mode –
detecting orthographic and grammatical
mistakes.
Sensors built into the pen detect variations
in the way a letter is formed and buzzes
immediately if an error is spotted. Creators
Falk and Mandy Wolsky were inspired by
their son's early writing attempts, according
to their website Lernstift.
They explain on their company's website:
'From the very first words there were errors.'It
is hoped the quick prompts will help children
learn to write more accurately, more quickly.
The inventors will launch a crowd funding
project, financed by donations from the
public who support the concept behind the
invention, during February, 2013 to raise
money to develop and market the idea.
Proposed improvements for future pens
include adding pressure sensors, computer
connectivity and an open platform to allow
others to develop apps and expand the
functionality of the pen.
