Anoto Consumer Brands & Products

We’ve found that in this ever-changing technological landscape, constantly switching between written and typed notes can be frustrating.  So, we’ve created award-winning digital smart pens that bring these two worlds together, instantly bringing your notes, words and ideas to digital life.

inq is a completely re-imagined lineup of digital ink smart pens, notebooks, accessories and software under a bold new consumer brand. Merging the timeless magic of ink with next-generation technology, inq seeks to redefine how we write in the digital age in a way that’s never been done before.  For too long, handwriting has lived solely on paper, disconnected from our digital lives. That changes now. With AI now smart enough to read handwriting better than most people can, inq is introducing new products that are the perfect companions for your phone, designed for the way we think, live, and work today.

Our inq smart pens represent a step-change in quality: the thinnest, most comfortable digital pens we’ve ever built. These are iconic pens you’ll want to carry with you, all the time. Lightweight, stylish and responsive, they write beautifully on paper while syncing everything you create instantly to your phone, tablet, or laptop.

The inq app uses advanced AI handwriting recognition to digitize your notes with incredible precision, capturing pressure, color, audio, and even converting your scribbles to searchable, shareable text with a single tap. Whether you’re a student, professional, or everyday notetaker, inq keeps your ideas safe, accessible, and ready to use the moment the ink dries.

We’ve also designed a range of notebooks and accessories to support every kind of user and every budget. From premium paper to beautifully crafted notebooks, everything is made sustainably and built to elevate your writing experience. We’re selling these products as ‘writing sets’ as they are designed to be experienced together.  And they’re more than just tools, they’re the perfect gift, whether for yourself or someone who values thoughtful design and function.

Livescribe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anoto Group AB, is the global leader in smartpen design and manufacturing and was the first smartpen manufacturer in the world.  Research has proven that hand-writing notes instead of typing them improves information retention and creativity.  However, it’s also true that handwritten notes on traditional paper often get lost, damaged, or can be difficult to read. Regardless, the world continues to rely on handwritten notes as part of daily life – whether to jot down a grocery list or work in a classroom or meetings in a professional environment.  Our Livescribe pens, LivePen and Echo II, help to overcome the challenges of traditional pen and paper by marrying the practicality of them with advanced technology – instantly turning handwritten notes and documents into digital ones.

All of our smart paper notebooks use regular paper printed with a unique pattern of tiny micro-dots. This pattern is called DPS and works like a GPS for the smart pen.  The smart pen’s high‐speed infrared camera reads the dot‐pattern, which enables a wide range of digital functionalities and paper-based applications.  We offer our smart paper notebooks in a variety of colors and sizes including A5 notebooks, US Letter notebooks and Hardcover notebooks and all are sold at prices comparable to standard paper products.
