Digital marker software for PC
Epic Pen is a premium productivity software for PC developed by Tank Studios. It's a digital marker tool that can be used to annotate and make notes directly on-screen over any application. It supports multi-touch input and can recognize different levels of pressure sensitivity for better accuracy and precision.
Compared to similar solutions like Microsoft Whiteboard, Epic Pen stands out with its ability to work anywhere and is not limited to any specific program. Newcomers can test a free trial version before deciding if they want to take advantage of the various subscription options and multi-user packages that are available.
Modern universal marker
Epic Pen is essentially a digital marking tool that you can use anywhere. The way it works is it opens an overlay that runs on top of any application that lets you mark or draw directly on your screen. It supports 10-point multi-touch finger input, as well as Wacom digital pens, and can recognize various levels of pressure sensitivity for more precise and accurate jot-downs.
For features, this program gives you the choice between a pen or highlighter tips depending on what you're doing, with over 10 color palette choices to choose from. You also get a screenshot feature to save a copy of your notes for later. The pro version offers even more tools and options, including more color choices, a text tool, and a set of shapes for creating charts and graphs.
Other notable features include a Whiteboard or Blackboard for on-the-spot collaborative discussions, and convenient Hotkeys to quickly access or enable functions. All that said, one minor but noticeable shortcoming is that the basic free trial version is very limited and does not really provide a good preview of what the software has to offer in terms of feature set and functionality to potential new users.
Mark anything
All in all, Epic Pen is a handy and indispensable tool for educators or those who often collaborate with others on creative team endeavors or projects. It's intuitive to use and comes with various tools to help you get the message across more clearly. Despite its quite limited free trial experience, it's worth considering the pro version for all that it offers.
