This pen records as you write. Record what? It records the sound of the speaker who talks to you while you notes.
Of course you can use another audio recording device. But if you want a certain part of the current audio, you have to play the whole thing forwards and backwards and hope you catch him in the right place. With Livescribe, the sound it records is linked to the letter you wrote.That means you can play certain sections of audio by tapping on certain sections of your notes. Sure, it has a tradition not to fast forward and backward as well.
Livescribe also records the writing and drawing you written or drawn. Simply Livescribe pen in the USB cable to your computer (PC or Mac) and you can send notes to your computer.While in the USB cradle is charging the pen.
Great for lectures and meetings
Great for Students
A pen is traditionally a good graduation gift. It is especially the case if the student goes to college and needs to take notes. I wish I had this kind of technology during my college days, but unfortunately, technologies, as this was not invented then.
You can even share your notes online on the Livescribe Community. Here is an example.
Great for business meetings
Of course the pen is not only good for students. It is perfect for business meetings. The review of this customer said: "The Pulse has enhanced my career."
Livescribe Pen Other Applications
Livescribe is called a computing platform, because it takes to write as input and output results in the form of audio and display. It has an SDK (Software Development Kit) for developers to create new applications.
Linked here is a video demo of Livescribe pen to do math. The following video shows a demo of the pen do what translation and playing a paper toy piano.
How It Works
The pin picks the sound from the built-in microphone is right on the pen or from the ear-piece in your ears.
You have to write on special "dot paper" that you can buy a notebook, or you can even create your own paper that you are 600 DPI printer dot. It has an infrared camera on the end that lasts 72 frames per second. Since you write on special dot paper, it can see the little dots and know where the pen on the paper. That's how it is able to follow the path of movement of the pen to capture. And that is how it is able to select the audio link to the location of the nib.
Some models of pins can hold 2GB memory. Although the actual time may vary, 1 GB of memory is approximately 100 hours of recording time.
Livescribe was founded by Jim Marggraff, who had invented LeapFrog FLY Pentop Computer and maker of the LeapPad Learning system.1 So Livescribe uses the same technology as the LeapFrog tag reading system where a child can touch a pen to certain areas of the book and children Appropriate audio is played.2
