The new way to take notes
Sick of having to type up all your handwritten notes? Good news: Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio do it for you. They capture all your notes digitally – which can then be exported as rich text or DOC files using the Ink to Text feature on the Wacom Inkspace Mobile and Desktop app*.
The pen and pad accurately pick up all your unique handwriting quirks, meaning no details are lost. And you can work on whatever paper you choose – squared, lined or even a napkin.
Once you’ve got everything down, you can quickly sync notes to your device for sharing and editing. Plus, you can add a hashtag to each page, making easy to keep everything organized.
*Requires registration and a Wacom ID.
A visual thinker’s best friend
If you think in diagrams, graphs and mind-mapping, Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio are the perfect companions. You can start by drawing on paper, then sync it to your device at the push of a button.
Whatever you draw, it’s easy to categorize and keep your work in order with our intuitive tagging feature. And you can doodle away on your favorite paper knowing that every stroke will be captured accurately.
A pen sensitive to your needs
When it’s time to digitize your work, you don’t have to worry about losing any of the detail. Bamboo Slate and Bamboo Folio can pick up subtle changes in pressure from the Wacom Ballpoint pen – even through 80 sheets of paper.
The pen sits snugly in your hand and its ink cartridges can be easily replaced. All you have to think about is what you’ll create with it.

Transport your ideas into the digital world
Putting pen to paper is just the start. When you’re ready, you can sync your notes and ideas to the Wacom Inkspace app and develop them digitally. The Inkspace app is available for iOS, Android, Windows 10/11 and MacOS.
The app’s Ink to Text feature handily converts your handwritten notes to rich text or DOC formats, saving you the hassle of re-typing your work. And if you’re keen to share your creative process, Inkspace can record your work as MP4 video files that show your thought process coming together line by line.
On the web-based version of the app, our Ink Collaboration tool even allows you to work on a real-time canvas simultaneously with your friends of colleagues. So you can continually work together, no matter where you all are.
