This question is a bit complicated to sum up in the title. I know there are a few technologies when it comes to digitizing your drawings.


Tablets like Intuos and Bamboo
Smartpens like Livescribe Echo


My gripe with graphics tablets is the hand eye coordination because I want to look where I am drawing. On the other hand with Livescribe smartpens, I can look where I am writing but it only records the movements and does not let you control the mouse cursor in realtime on a computer. What I really want is something in between; to be able to handwrite with a pen on a regular paper and simultaneously control the mouse cursor on the monitor.

I hope I explained it sufficiently well. I need such an input device for the purpose of making instructional videos such that the videos contain my writings and doodles as I speak. Please point to an appropriate solution.

Pearsonartphoto is probably right about needing a Cintiq. The pens mostly just record for later import into your actual digital drawing app.

I use a Cintiq and it's not perfect, but it's probably as good as you're going to get for looking at your screen while drawing directly on it.

Sounds like you're looking for the Wacom Inkling, Wacom Cintiq, or related product. I don't have any experience with these directly, but I believe they will work.
