Smart Pen that Records what You Write and Hear! (A Genius Invention!!)

Ranked #6,611 in Computers & Electronics, #128,402 overall

Do you miss the important parts of a lecture?

You see, some people like to doodle. I don't exactly doodle, but for some reason I get the best ideas when I'm actually supposed to be concentrating and listening in class. Something about trying to concentrate and take notes, makes my brain susceptible to all kinds of great ideas about life - ideas for writing (I'm a writer at heart!), thoughts about what I'm going to do next, you name it! Anything besides what the lecture is actually about :(

Of course my ears would turn off just when I needed to hear what was being said! Well, now I've found something meant for people like me: The LiveScribe Smart Pen that records what you write and hears what was being said!

Why This Pen Rocks!

My Favorite Things About it!

  • 1No more missing notes.... If I forgot to write something down, I can use this pen to hear what I missed. Without wasting lots of time trying to find the spot in my audio file. I just tap the pen to the paper, and ta-da!, the missing information is played.
  • 2It helps me be organized... Just use a different livescribe notebook for each class, and your notes stay organized! The software program does it all for me.
  • 3The end of mis-understandings... Great for reviewing what people said in meetings, interviews, etc. This gives you a chance to hear it again and make sure you get it right!
  • 4No more lugging my laptop everywhere... I know laptops have come down in size, but mine is heavy and it's really nice to not have to carry it around. I can still get my notes on my computer by just syncing the livescribe smart pen. The software program also lets me search my notes, and it finds the words I wrote in my own handwriting!

A Poll Question for you!

I'm a horrible note taker

(just ask my friend who tried to borrow my notes!)

I tried using a voice recorder. But my notes still were disjointed and I never had the time or patience to listen to the whole lecture on my recorder. Plus when I finally got to the right part of the audio recording, I often got distracted again and had to waste even more time going back to the right spot again!

With this pen, I just touch the pen to the paper at the part of the notes that I need to hear again. No more fast forwarding or rewinding! Just tap and listen :)

Does the pen record what a professor says and what your write so you can check your notes later or just what you write down? - Apple Store (U.S.)
The pen records both audio and your handwriting. The main advantage in using the pen lies in its ability to link the two together. Thus, tapping on a particular place in a notebook plays the audio as heard at that very moment. This is in contrast to a normal audio recording, in which one would have
