The smartpen works by writing notes on dot paper which are then reflected on the app via Bluetooth. With the help of this app, the users can create tasks, reminders, calendar events, new contacts and more by using handwritten notes. The written notes can also be searched, tagged and converted into text. In addition to the list, it can also be used to create PDFs.
