Spell it Correctly

Spell it Correctly

One reason that we prefer keyboards to pens is the dignity-saving presence of a spell checker — but that won’t help your average schoolchild, obligated to learn their language scrawling on dead trees. Now, a pair of German inventors have developed Lernstift, a learning pen that’ll ruthlessly nag you into improving your spelling and handwriting with the power of vibration. Packing a stripped-down Linux system with a non-optical motion sensor, it’ll work out what you’re writing and buzz you if it thinks you’ve made a mistake, even if you’re scrawling in mid-air. In addition, there’s a calligraphy mode, which’ll let you know exactly how you could make your penmanship a little more, you know, legible.
