For Student Disability & Accessibility Offices
Independent note-taking,
for every student.
The Ophaya Smart Pen pairs real handwriting with synced audio and free handwriting-to-text — so students with note-taking accommodations capture class themselves, not through a peer note-taker.

Paper, pen, app. The rest is just class.
Smart pens are a widely used assistive technology for note-taking accommodations under ADA and Section 504 plans — commonly supporting ADHD, dysgraphia, dyslexia, and auditory-processing difficulties.
Write on real paper, with real ink
The student writes normally in the Ophaya notebook while the app records audio in the background. Every stroke is linked to the exact moment it was written — sparse notes are completely fine.
Notes become searchable text
Handwriting appears in the app alongside clean, editable text — free OCR, exportable to Word or PDF. Nothing to scan, photograph, or retype. Everything is backed up automatically.
Tap a line, replay the lecture
Tapping any line replays that exact moment of audio. Students review at their own pace, search every notebook by keyword, and study independently — no peer note-taker required.
From verified buyers
“It perfectly captures my messy handwriting and even converts it to text, which is a lifesaver. The audio sync feature is brilliant for lectures — and it works flawlessly offline.”
— Kristopher A., verified buyer“I never looked back at my notes — I just couldn’t find them after, and it stressed me out. With Ophaya it automatically records everything I write during school.”
— AJ, verified buyerBuilt for program budgets
