Highlighting the smart way with Hyler

Hyler is a smart highlighter pen that digitalizes what is highlighted on paper and seamlessly transfers it onto mobile devices. The selected information is saved as a digital clip that can be managed within a companion app.

The Hyler uses an optical module and line scan camera to capture text and digitize it using an OCR (optical character recognition) engine. With its ‘search mode’ you don’t need to flip through physical notes to look up a particular sentence. You don’t need to Google the meaning of a word either; simply highlight it and the app will display its meaning. If you don’t want to leave a mark on the books, you can replace the tip of the Hyler with an ink-less one.
