Washington: German invents, have elaborate a new hi-tech pen that gradually vibrates every time it senses a spelling mistake or sloppy handwriting.Lernstift is a regular pen with real ink, but inside is a special motion sensor and a small battery-powered Linux computer with a Wi-Fi chip.

Contacts those parts allow the pen to realize specific movements, letter shapes and know a wide distribution of words. If it senses bad letter arrangement or untidy handwriting, it will vibrate, 'ABC News' reported.

A person can choose between two functions: Calligraphy Mode - pointing out flaws of form and Visibility or Orthography Mode - recognizing words and to consider the word to a language database.

If the word isn't recognized it will vibrate, according to Daniel Kaesmacher, the 33-year-old co-founders of Lernstift from Munich.

The other co-founder Falk Wolsky, 36, had the idea for the pen last year while his 10-year-old son was doing his homework.

"His son had been problem with his work and focused in a situation, and Falk thought there should be a pen that gives him some sort of signal so he stays focused," Kaesmacher said.

After a year and a half in development, the to become wrecked have now brought Lernstift to Kickstarter to begin raising money and to prepare interest.
