Abstract

A system for notetaking includes: a display device for displaying a source document to a user; a printed substrate for receiving handwritten notes relating to the displayed source document, the printed substrate having a position-coding pattern identifying a substrate identity and a plurality of coordinate locations on the substrate; an optically imaging pen having a writing nib, the pen being configured for imaging the position-coding pattern whilst writing the notes and generating digital ink; and a computer system configured for indexing the digital ink with an identifier for the displayed source document so that the displayed source document is retrievable when accessing the notes.
