Numa Pen digitizes your handwriting as you write on paper.

Nuwa Pen uses computer vision and motion sensing to digitize the words you write on paper

Nuwa Pen is a smart ballpoint pen that digitizes the words you write on paper as you write them.

The pen uses a standard D1 ballpoint ink cartridge in conjunction with AI, computer vision and motion sensors to digitize every stroke a user writes or doodles on any type of piece of paper. Nuwa Pen will show the pen at CES 2025, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.
