Question: How can 12 computers serve 90 students in 3 classrooms?

Answer: Since CalcuScribe costs so little, use a cart that stores, transports, and recharges 30 or more units. Place 2-3 computers and a printer in every classroom and roll in the cart of CalcuScribes to each room, every hour. Or place a computer and a printer on top of the cart. Each student gets computer access, for several hours a day. Students may also take CalcuScribes to field-trips or take the home.

Problems and Challenges:

1. Not enough computer access? Tired of waiting or getting bumped off a computer? Trekking from room to room to find a computer?

2. Too noisy, where the computer is, for creative thinking?

3. Handwriting notes and then typing them on a computer?

4. Isn't a laptop too expensive for simple tasks like writing?

5. Confused about which computer to get - Mac or a PC?

6. Carrying too much weight?

7. Batteries keep depleting? Tired of connecting the AC adapter? Can’t find an AC outlet? Tripping over the chord?

8. Afraid of losing the expensive laptop? Worried that it will get damaged?

Solution: use a CalcuScribe!

Challenge: So many students! There are millions of students in our education system. By the time they enter the job market they need skills in language arts, math, sciences and be equipped with Information Skills.

Problem: So few computers! About 70% of the time we use just 20% of a computer's power to do keyboarding, creative writing, editing, reading and data entry. Schools have had two options: limited access to computers with more power than is needed, at a high price, or to get difficult to use portable devices with limited capabilities.

Solution: So, get the CalcuScribe! Now there is a better solution. Students can bring their ideas to life with the CalcuScribe. While computers crunch processor-intensive 'publishing' tasks, using sound cards, speakers, a million colors, etc. CalcuScribe performs the behind-the-scene 'thinking' and 'labor-intensive' tasks such as creative writing, lesson planning, data entry, and developing math and keyboarding skills.

Now, Two can Tango

Problem: Many schools, homes, and offices have fewer computers than users. Contrary to common belief, this creates a problem of keyboard access, not of computer access. More than 70% of the time a computer is used for inputting text, editing (revising), thinking, or it sits idle. It's not prudent to buy another computer since it's expensive. Costs include: hardware and software, peripherals and Internet access lines, furniture and real-estate, and staff salaries for maintaining the equipment.

Solution: With CalcuScribe, users can capture ideas or write memos, compositions and letters, or collect data while computers perform multimedia tasks, web-browsing, or other desktop applications.

Let your learning needs drive your technology purchases, not vice versa.

CalcuScribe is perfect for multitasking and virtual computing!

Can't bring the class to a computer?
Then bring the CalcuScribe to the classroom!

Imagine you are in a meeting or a classroom. You tirelessly scribble notes to capture the ideas in your mind. Then you take the fragmented ideas to a computer - if one's available! Why duplicate the effort? Use CalcuScribe - maintain eye contact with the teacher, while typing. Later, edit your notes with cut and paste and beam the file into a computer. Voila! your thoughts flow into any application directly onto the computer's monitor - ready for publication.

Work less, accomplish more!
Have CalcuScribe, Will Triumph

• InterLink 'n' InterAct: CalcuScribes communicate with each other. Thus, students and teachers can send files to each other. The teacher can prepare a story or an assignment on a CalcuScribe and transfer it to several CalcuScribes before the class begins.

• InfraLink: copy 'n' paste text from one file to another or within a file!

• Dock 'n' Link: CalcuScribe links wirelessly with the InfraLink pod which connects to a Mac or a PC. InfraLink communicates wirelessly with CalcuScribe and feeds data to a computer or a printer. Alternatively, use a simple keyboard cable to connect the CalcuScribe to a desktop computer. No other hardware or software is required to send files to a computer, a printer, or to another CalcuScribe.

CalcuScribe - it's not just another portable keyboard, but an intelligent laptop word processor and a unique interactive calculator!

Link 'n' Send is as simple as: Copy 'n' Paste.
Frustrated when disks or files are incompatible and conversion programs just don't help? Then try copy 'n' paste from:
one CalcuScribe to CalcuScribe
one file to another file within the same CalcuScribe;
within a file;
from CalcuScribe to a computer or to a printer.

Copy 'n' Paste is a powerful technique that has worked on computers. Now use it to transfer data from CalcuScribe to a computer.
