Put ink on the page.
Write naturally with the refill on ordinary paper.
The Vahini sensor pen
A pen in development that records motion and tip force while you write. Built around ordinary paper and a replaceable ink refill.
Prototype in development · Indian Patent No. 584433
How it works
Write naturally with the refill on ordinary paper.
Two motion sensors and a tip force sensor record the movement.
Bluetooth and onboard storage support the recording workflow.
Recognition and writing-support models are part of our research.
The sensor pen
The pen adds timing, motion and force to the written page. We are developing the hardware, firmware and dataset needed for motion-based recognition.
Available online
The photo-based handwriting analyser works with your own pen. Upload a clear page to explore letter formation, spacing and other visual factors.

The pen is designed to write with ink on ordinary paper. Motion recording does not depend on a printed dot pattern.
The current estimates are around 15 hours of continuous recording and about 2 hours to charge over USB-C. Final-unit performance remains to be confirmed.
Motion-based character recognition is part of Project Akshara research. A signal recording and a validated recognition system are different milestones.
