Are you spending a lot of time on taking notes and minutes? The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen offers a helping hand. This smartpen has both a microphone and infrared camera. The Pulse Smartpen links every spoken word to your handwritten notes or drawings. At the beginning of your lecture, conversation, or interview, you start the sound recording. You then write down just a few key words in the Livescribe Dot Paper notebook at important moments. This notebook contains special paper with thousands of small dots for the infrared camera. The result is a pencast, which displays your handwritten notes including audio. While you hear the sound recording, you also see the captured notes on your screen. If you want to listen to specific portions, you tap the relevant words with the pen and play them back via the built-in speaker or the included earbuds.
Plenty of space and convenience
With the Smartpen, it's totally fine to be long-winded, because there's 2GB storage space for 200 hours of sound recordings. You can easily transfer your notes and audio with the USB station. The desktop software recognizes separate LiveScribe Dot Paper notebooks, so it's easy to keep the notes of multiple lectures or various accounts separate. It's very easy to share these files online via interactive flash animations, for which there's plenty of space thanks to 500MB online storage space. You can simply send an email with a link to your online pencast. This way, everybody can use your notes without needing special software. Thanks to the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen, you dot the i's and cross the t's.
