this product is not what I expected so I cannot rate it for what it does. I am very upset I cannot return it because i missed the 30 day deadline accidentally. I cannot find a local dealer who carries this product so I wonder just how good it is for what it does. The company will not even let me exchange it for the correct product which is concerning.

Love everything about it but the pen...Sep 23, 2009
I've been using the 692 for a year and I really like it. I take notes at meetings and when I get back to my desk I open the notes in the software that came with the unit and then print to PDF using the free CutePDF app, saving the PDF file to my notes folder, then I toss the paper. My desk is no longer overrun by doodle-filled pages of notes from phone calls and meetings. However I have one MAJOR complaint: the pen. The pen is cheap and flimsy, and completely unsatisfying as a writing instrument. The screw-on battery cover pulls off easily without being unscrewed...and sometimes just pops off. As far as the actual ink-on-paper writing, go to the dollar store and buy a bag of the cheapest ball point pens they sell, and that's what the experience from this pen is like. As far as I've been able to determine, nobody makes a compatible higher-end alternative. I really wish someone would create a replacement pen that is a bit more solid and better to write with. Since this is a handwriting capture device, the actual writing instrument itself should have been given much more attention (or any attention at all beyond the technical aspects!). I've actually started using the 692 less frequently because I despise the pen so much. I would rate this item with 5 stars were it not for the pen itself.

Digital padOct 02, 2008
The digital pad works very well. There are 2 problems: Unable to find 6" x 9" pads in office supply stores; no provision to use a 6" x 9" notebook vice a pad.

 Does a great job, with limitationsJul 05, 2008
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HMX3PHHDK8LT The 692 has become one of my best friends - great for taking meeting notes and sharing them later. Also, I draw mockups for projects using a grid system, then use the digital copy in my rough project guides, converting them using OmniGraffle later. The 692 doesn't have Mac or Linux software, but my video review talks about that. Also, the 692 cannot operate as a live tablet when plugged-in.

Does what it says, mostlyMay 25, 2008
I got this to take notes at a month long scholarly conference, and to take notes on my reading before hand.
Positives:
--It records my handwriting and doodles just fine.
--The right size pads are available at every Office Depot
--Refills for the ink are easily available (Cross pen refills).
--battery sizes are pretty standard, too.
--It is a cinch to open up single pages straight from the hard drive by clicking on them, and you can open an entire set of pages with the software and export them as one single PDF file.
--Any program that will import a pdf or tif can use the exported pages, including OneNote. I have quite good results importing images into Word and annotating there, too.
--The pen does not feel cheaply lightweight (as do the styli for notebook computers), nor is it excessively large or clunky. It does not feel like a quality writing instrument, of course, but it's quite comfortable to use.
Negatives:
--the page images record lines, which are annoying -- they do not correspond to the lines on the pad, and my writing is invariably askew on the image even if it is perfectly straight on the page.
--The OCR software is about 85% accurate with my scribble even after "training", and considerable editing effort would be required to make a printout presentable. Since the OCR software costs as much as the device itself, I will not be upgrading after the trial.
--After decades of keyboarding, I actually CAN'T write well with good pressure and clarity with a ball point cartridge without causing writers cramps. Until they invent a roller ball model, I guess my hand muscles just have to be in training.
--From the promotional website, it seemed that the software would help you organize your notes. It does not -- it just lets you highlight or annotate the notes and save them as "ebooks" or image files. Exporting to OneNote is a better way to go
--The pen will almost certainly get lost -- the place to attach it to the device is less than secure -- and new ones are pricey at $26.00
Summary: When used in conjunction with Acrobat and OneNote, this seems to be a valuable addition to my box of tools and it is far from the most expensive peripheral I have.
One more thing: I debated whether to get the 692 or the larger pad. Although the paper size is smallish, the 692 total dimensions resemble those of a standard notepad and I really think anything larger would be awkward. You can fill the entire 692 pad, quite literally from edge to edge, and this gives quite a bit of writing surface.
