The AlphaSmart was a keyboarding device that enabled a person to work on the go, much like alaptop computer, but it was strictly for word processing, as it functioned essentially like a simple digitaltypewriter. TheDana(one of the last devices made by AlphaSmart, Inc.) was an exception, as this device also ranPalm OSapplications. Since the AlphaSmart, Dana, and NEO were specialized for limited purposes, they were generally much cheaper than a standard laptop computer. All of these devices were meant to be plugged into anADB,PS/2, orUSBport for transferring the written text into a computer\'s word processing document for further editing (such as indentation and font preference) or printing if so desired.
The AlphaSmart saved every keystroke directly to the machine\'s RAM, which was maintained by a battery backup even when powered down. AlphaSmarts could transfer data either by a special program that communicated with the AlphaSmart or by the simpler method of transmitting the keystrokes of the written text as if it were the computer\'s keyboard. When not transferring text, the AlphaSmart could be used as a standard keyboard.
AlphaSmarts were very popular in schools for their affordability and durability. Elementaryschoolsand high schools used them; and they were particularly popular amongspecial educationdepartments for use by students withgraphomotorchallenges.
The machines were also popular among journalists and writers, who found them easy to carry and appreciated the full-size keyboard and long battery life.[2]
