The HTC Flyer is also the first tablet in the world to ever feature the HTC Scribe technology. HTC Scribe Technology transforms traditional note‐taking into smart note‐taking by integrating natural onscreen writing with thoughtful and integrated innovations. It’s a magic pen that can transform into any scribing tool to draw, paint, write, and retouch pictures, and can even be used as a highlighter for the reader collating all your highlighted segments when you are finished. HTC Flyer’s Scribe technology can link audio to the notes you take for work, and it can add voiceover to a storybook you're drawing up at home. We have all been in a situation when we took notes at a meeting, and then returned to the office only to find ourselves unable to figure out what we wrote.

So tapping on a word in your notes instantly takes you to that exact place in time in the audio recording of the meeting.
