Smart Highlighter Pens

'Hyler' Digitizes Analog Text So That It Can Be Managed Within an App

'Hyler' is one of the innovative projects that Samsung is introducing at CES 2020 and it takes the form of a smart highlighter that has the potential to help people better manage the information they read. Often, people are forced to choose between recording notes with pen and paper or a digital device, but Hyler offers the best of both worlds. Hyler boasts the ability to digitize analog text from paper, so that simply the action of highlighting a passage captures the information within an app.

With Hyler, users are able to enhance their studies and readings by searching for specific text results and make the most of compatible dictionaries.
