The flipchart…it’s been a staple of collaboration and ideation, serving as the cocktail napkin for great ideas during meetings for decades. But in today’s world of work efficiency, the flipchart has been slowed by its shortcomings, namely the time it takes to transcribe the notes and accurately interpret what was discussed during the meeting. To address this issue, Quartet, a leader in visual communication solutions, created Quartet® Kapture, the first-ever flipchart that allows meeting participants to instantly write, capture and digitally share meeting notes. Complete product information is available at www.quartetkapture.com.

At first glance, Kapture looks and feels like an ordinary flipchart. It features flipchart paper, color markers and an easel. However, a closer look at Kapture reveals the integration of simple yet effective technology – providing an intuitive solution that does not force users to change behavior.

Similar to conventional brainstorming, users can capture notes on the self-adhesive flipchart pages and post them around the conference room, keeping all information visible. The Kapture Digital Pen incorporates a camera that communicates via Bluetooth® to a computer through a USB receiver. When all is said and done, every word, pie chart or squiggly line is captured in real-time by a computer for easy editing and sharing.

Research shows that capturing and distributing digital flipchart pages as notes is more accurate. The use of visuals increases the recall of the meeting’s details and decisions; plus saves time and money. On average, 10 pages of flipcharts are captured in a typical meeting and it takes 10 minutes to transcribe each page. Eliminating this process through the use of a Kapture saves an estimated $150 each meeting and enables meeting notes to be distributed within minutes. A full demo video is available here.

While Kapture brings the flipchart into the digital age, Quartet was careful not to overdo it with technology.

“The paper flipchart has always been essential, creating a visual representation of the conversation during team meetings, status updates, brainstorming sessions, problem solving exercises, educational settings and many other collaborative efforts, ” said Jim Kowalczyk, brand manager for Quartet. “So, when it came to rethinking the flipchart, we erred on the side of simple but effective. In other words, we addressed the issues – productivity, simplicity, communication and efficiency – while maintaining what has made the flipchart so invaluable.”

The Quartet Kapture is available now at office supply dealers or www.quartetkapture.com.
