Spirit Echo
An electronic chalkboard that reveals drawings, words, numbers, or predictions instantly. Hidden technology inside a real A4 blackboard.
Spirit Echo isnโt just a reveal board โ itโs also a peek display that can show information in picture-in-picture mode, just like PeekSmith, MrCard, or Bond.
What Spirit Echo Does
Real-time reveals โ Spectator writes on Spirit Pad โ appears instantly on Echo. No delay. No cuts.
Picture-in-picture peek mode โ Display a few lines of text in the corner while showing something else on the main board (PINs, words, numbers, recognized text, predictions).
TrueWrite/TrueSketch rendering โ Neural network handwriting and drawing generation. Different letterforms every time (the word โMississippiโ has different letters each time).
Instant clear โ Hidden button wipes the screen with chalk-erasing animation.
Natural handling โ Real chalk surface. Looks and feels like a normal blackboard.
Exceptional battery life โ 6+ months of real use from a 5-hour charge.
How Spirit Echo Works
Spirit Echo uses electronic display technology (e-ink) hidden behind a real chalk surface. When you send information from your phone, device, or Spirit Pad, it appears on the blackboard instantly.
The power comes from combining Echo with Spirit Pad:
Spectator writes on Spirit Pad โ their drawing appears in real time on Spirit Echo โ you trace it with real chalk โ wipe the electronic image โ hand out the real chalk drawing.
This simply didnโt exist before.

TrueWrite & TrueSketch
TrueWrite โ Neural network handwriting rendering. Free for Spirit Echo owners. Varies letterforms naturally (so โMississippiโ doesnโt repeat letters).
TrueSketch โ Neural network drawing generation. Coming soon.
Custom handwriting โ Upload your own handwriting for personal TrueWrite rendering (long-term feature, coming later).
Picture-in-Picture Peek Mode
Echo can function as a peek display โ showing information in the corner of the slate while displaying something else on the main board.
Use cases:
- Display a prediction on the main board while peeking at a PIN in the corner
- Show a drawing while secretly viewing text
- Combine reveals with real-time information
This makes Echo a dual-purpose device: reveal board + peek display.
Performance Tips
Charge after every performance โ Donโt run out of battery mid-show.
Test before performing โ Always verify Bluetooth connection and transmission.
Practice reveals โ Get comfortable with e-ink refresh timing.
Use Spirit Plain for switches โ Have an ungimmicked slate ready for clean endings.
Phone as range extender โ If performing large venues, use Pad โ Phone โ Echo for 60m+ range.
Keep chalk surface clean โ Match the wear on Echo, Pad, and Plain so they look identical.
