What is a digitizer pen? This pen is used to digitize texts and drawings. It converts ordinary drawings on papers and documents on files into digital format by scanning them and capturing images of them that can later be transformed into JPEG, TIFF or any other format.
A digitizer pen is also used in conjunction with drawing tablets where it is used as the main drawing tool. There are two types of specifications that are used in this regard. The first variation comes with the pen attached to a cord. You will have to keep your hand movements within the area through which you can extend the cord. The second variation gives you more flexibility as it does not use any cord and you can freely move the pen. This will also help you in adding many new dimensions to your paintings or designs.
The basic working of a pen digitizer is simple. It has a sensory tool, known as optical character recognition or OCR, attached at its tip that can capture the data and transfer it to the main processing unit of the tablet from where it is transmitted to a computer. If you are using a pen for digitizing your handwritten data then you may need to use handwriting software to improve the final look of the images captured by the pen. In case the pen is used as the main drawing tablet then you will not have to use any such software.

There are sensors attached to the pen and tablet PC that will help you in creating complex design as you ca easily manipulate the thickness and other aspects of the design. There is also an option of using photo editing software once you have completed the drawing.
