Even though this Smart Pen is expensive, it is a game changer for those who have ADHD, hearing loss, or other challenges that impede their learning in classrooms, business meetings, and so forth. I've worked with high school and college students, recommending this pen often. I myself have hearing loss and though I sit in the front of the classroom/ business meeting room, wear hearing aids and read lips well enough-- it is this pen that has helped me the most. You do need to purchase the special dotted paper in order for the smart pen to sync the audio recording with what the pen writes at the time. The option to print your own paper is valid: I've done this myself but it requires a high quality ink and printer. It's easier and cheaper to purchase the notebooks. The pen works with the touch of a few 'key pads' that are printed on the paper. You turn on the power button (on the pen) and then use the paper 'key pad' for the remainder of your options. The pen comes with good instructions and there are several you tube videos for this pen-- but the truth is that you learn best by messing around with it on your own. Find a youtube video of something that you'd like to learn-- something difficult to understand, something technical, and something that you'd need to take notes for if it were a real-world meeting or classroom setting. Play the video and start taking notes to learn how to use the pen. Do this BEFORE you actually need it. Hit the record button and the pen will begin to record the audio. Each time you make a mark with this pen on the smart paper, the sound syncs with the ink marking. The sound will not sync if you write on the paper with any other pen or if you use the smart pen on other paper. Each time a new subject or idea is spoken and you want to mark it, you don't have to jot down the time stamp, unless you want to. Some students use stars or the circled numbers on the top of the page. I use bullet points. When you are unable to write down as much as you had wanted to because the presenter/ instructor spoke too fast (or several people spoke at the same time), leave a large space on your paper. You can to back to that paper space later (explained below). When you wrote something down and you didn't make the symbol/star/mark in time (or you forgot to leave space for later), you can still make a symbol or jot that time down. When you are finished recording and making your notes, stop the recording session. If there is a break in recording, you have the option for pausing without stopping. You could also just record two sessions. Reviewing your recorded notes can be a help or abused as a crutch. Do not rely on this pen to do the thinking or listening for you. Don't think that you're going to learn better by recording and then sitting back during class! That isn't how learning works. Be actively engaged in taking physical, hand-written notes with this pen! Later you can review these notes. Turn on the pen and touch the part of the paper you want to review with the synced audio. The pen should automatically play at that spot. For parts of the recording that you left a large space for, you can touch the pen to the writing just before the space. The pen will play the audio right before the space. Listen to the recording and write in that large space the notes you would have taken at the time. It's like going back in time to take notes. Later, you can touch the pen over these 'time-traveling' notes and the pen will play with the synced audio as if you had made them during class originally. You can upload your notes, handwritten and audio recording, online on your own account. What I personally like to do (and this may seem crazy to some but feasible to others who cannot afford the smart paper or smart ink) is to create a system that works for me. I use the smart pen and smart post its for the recording, but I take my class notes on regular blank copy paper with a regular ink pen. Before class I take regular ink and write in a series of numbers like this: (Date of Lecture) (Start) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. ...etc. Once the professor starts the class, I hit record and draw a dot on the "start" I originally drew with regular ink. I draw the dot with the smart pen. This way, when I review the recording, the pen will start playing where the dot is. If I draw the (start) or numbers with the smart pen, the timing gets messed up. Each time the professor makes a new point, I'll draw a dot on the next number with my smart pen. But on the regular paper with regular ink, I then write the corresponding number so I know that the rest of my handwritten notes correspond with this number. It's a system that works for me but I've seen others use regular ink/paper and smart ink/paper that works for them. A former coworker used her smart ink and smart paper with colored regular ink, all on smart paper to organize her notes. It's what works best for you and that will come to you as you continue to use the smart pen. The only reason I do this is because I like to combine text notes, lecture notes, and video notes a few weeks later on regular paper. I don't like mountains of original notes-- that makes for messy study time when exams are looming. (See What Smart Students Know for more information on note-taking ideas). Other students do this because the paper and ink can be pricey after having had to pay for the smart pen itself. Still, others pay for all of it and do everything on the same smart paper because it's not work the headache for them to do something complicated. I just thought I'd put this out there for others who might wonder. Other thoughts: Be kind when using a smart pen. Other people might not understand why you are recording a lecture or meeting. Some don't care and some get offended. I simply ask if it is okay to use a smart pen when I meet with someone in their office. In class, I let them know if they don't already. There are ADA accommodations that professors are required to respect. If you have legally-binding accomodations, as set through your ADA resource office at your school or employment, then no one can deny your use of the pen. However, you cannot abuse this law. You must go through the proper ADA resource office procedures in order to have this protection. I normally delete sessions after I'm done gleaning anything else that I've recorded and did not get down on paper. The idea of note-taking is to get what is "out there" into your brain. So the condensing of audio notes, class notes, text notes, etc... to get into your brain is part of the note-rewriting process. Other than hearing loss or ADHD, this pen has helped students who suffer from PTSD, mobility loss, sensory perception, etc. I've even suggested to some of my students who were veterans to use this pen. One student in particular served in Kuwait and Iraq. When he decided to go to school after retirement, he had PTSD and could not bring himself to sit in the front of the class to pay better attention. His mind was too stuck on everything happening behind him that he was unable to see. Yet, when he sat in the back or sides of the class, he could not pay attention the teacher. After using this pen, he called it a 'game changer.' So many students have shared that with me. I feel the same way!

An absolute breakthrough as far as note taking and the ability to go back and review those notes along with what was beind said at the exact time you wrote something. You can quickly make a notation of whats being said (IE, *test question*) and go back, tap the pen at that location, and it will play the audio back from that exact point. I have not found a quicker or easier way to review important points so quickly. I can't imagine not using this pen now. After taking the notes, you can bring your pen back, synch it with the Echo software on your Mac or PC (I use a Mac)- it creates an exact copy of your notes (the pen has an eye in it that copies everything exactly as you write it) and of course the synched audio to go with those notes... so once you do that, you don't even need to bring your notebook with you to review the lesson.. simply load the session on your computer and you can tap on certain places in your notes and listen to what was being said at that exact time your wrote what you wrote. Awesome. I know there has been some talk of display issues with these, but there is a 3 year factory warranty to cover that and if it craps out after the 3 years, I think it's worth the price just to buy a new one because it's that good. At $33/year for making my life so much easier, I'll happily pay that. Hopefully it lasts more than 3 years (or goes out under warranty and I get a new one). This pen is worth this potential issue to me personally.

I really wanted to like this and for it to work. Based on the very mixed reviews I thought I might have to work a little extra to get it going smoothly. However, unless I was willing to invest hours of my time troubleshooting, going back and forth with slow to reply tech-support, and willing to eventually switch computers in order to use this it just isn't worth it. This pen, the Echo, is supposed to work with Windows 8 according to their website and their tech folks, however, on the box it doesn't list windows 8 (I think in this case, the box knows more than the tech folks...). For me, it does not work with windows 8 at all. In fact, my computer doesn't recognize the pen as even existing... at all...in any form. Not as a storage device - nothing. The tech guys have all these different things that you can check and change in your Windows 8 settings and you either need to turn them on or off in order for it to supposedly be recognized if this happens. Well everything they said should be on was already on, everything they wanted off was off, any software they thought could interfere I don't even use, so no more excuses blaming external factors - it just doesn't work. Now, I could use the pen and it would interact with the fancy paper as it is supposed to do, and I could record and just as it says I could then tap on my writing somewhere and hear what I'd recorded at that point. However, it would not upload in any way, shape or form to the computer because other than charging up the pen, when connected neither the computer or livescribe "see" the pen as even being there (and yes, I tried all my 3 different ports, different cord, reset the pen, blah, blah, blah....) Lets say you didn't care about the uploading and you're thinking, "well cool - I just like the recording with the written notes feature and that's good enough". Well, the problem is you cannot delete ANYTHING off the pen unless it's connected, so once you tap out the memory you'd be done. Or if you recorded something sensitive that you don't want to be on the pen - SOL, you can't get it off w/o a working connection to the livescribe software. For me, I really wanted the upload and archive feature - that was the whole point - so it's an absolute, total no-go even if you could delete directly from the pen. I'm really bummed as the idea is brilliant, and it would be so great if it would work, out of the box, as advertised. All the marketing is about simplifying your life through it's cool capabilities. Well, it's surely not simple if it doesn't work and they expect you to spend countless hours sorting out the problem on your end with only a link to a FAQ on how to "maybe" fix it sent here and there from the tech dept. Based on the FAQ sent to me, they pretty much listed every possible problem that could occur with pretty much any software program, any hardware computer, any cord/power issue, as well as timing it with the solstice, new moon and a resurrection ritual for the pen unit its-self. Well, okay, maybe not the solstice and new moon, but the list and process they send sure looks like some ancient alchemal formula that with the right season and good luck might...if you're really lucky and believe hard enough...just might resurrect your pen to a state that is viewed as real and alive by your computer. Sorry - I don't have the time or inclination to go to such lengths. Give me a product that works right out of the box, with only an extra bit of minimal work to get it going if needed. Summary: unless you're an Uber tech geek or have tons of time on your hands with nothing else to do but troubleshoot the problems with this thing in order to get it to go, DO NOT Bother if you're running the oh-so-fabulous (but let's not get into that...) Windows 8.

I really do like the livescribe pen. There is not anything else that compares, believe me I tried to find a different product with the same capability. After a bad experience with the Livescribe Pulse I really didn't want to buy another Livescribe. One problem they didn't tell us about the old pulse was that if you don't charge and use it regularly the OLED screen will become very dim to entirely dark. If this happens after the warranty period they will do nothing. In my opinion this was a defect and they should have issued a recall. So now the review for the Echo 2GB: Cons: 1. Based on my experience I have to consider this to be a disposable device. 2. I purchased this with the expectation that it will last for 1 year (the warranty period) anything after that is bonus. 3. Also they claim the OLED problem is fixed but I will not count on it. 4. Having to keep it charged and use it regularly if nothing but to scribble random notes. Even during the summer when I am not taking classes. Pros: 1. The pen is great for taking notes in lectures. 2. I can spend more time listening to the lecture and only jot down topics or key points rather than detailed notes. 3. I can go back and listen to what the instructor said and make more detailed notes or study guides after the lecture and hear exactly what the instructor said. 4. Prevents the age old problem of missing something important because I was trying to write down something else. 5. The pen records very well in all my class rooms large and small, floors with carpet or tile. 6. The pen will record basically anything you can hear. ** (one note here not really a con but might be for some, if someone in the back of the room asks a question the pen doesn't do a good job of recording it. Of course neither do my ears. So if YOU can't hear it clearly then neither can the pen.) All in all it is a good product with a unique set of functionalities and for now I would recommend it to others noting the above cons.

I have been using this for about two weeks to take notes at university. I am a social science student and as such there is a lot of note taking and lectures in my courses which is the reason I wanted this pen, as I thought it would better help me prepare course outlines and study guides by not having to retype my notes. Software 4/5 The Echo desktop software is great and very straightforward to use. There is an app-store that was relatively tricky to find as the software sends you to livescribe store for pens instead of the app-store. The app-store is quite limited although I did have to pickup Myscript from there as the Echo software cannot convert handwriting to text which is why I deducted a point of it. There is a lot of potential to develop interesting apps but most where quite primitive falling in the realm of language phrasebooks and games instead of productivity tools. Pen 4/5 The pen has plenty of amazing features such as the ability to play music and record audio in addition to recording handwriting. I wish there was a full translator as the demo included is a great concept but presently unavailable for purchase even if you want it. If I could I would have bought the translator as the ability to translate would have been phenomenally useful for taking language classes and for self study, its a shame its not included. The pens menu interface was also user friendly with a large variety of settings to play with. The cartridge is easy to change too you simply pull it out. My only serious gripe with this pen apart from the lack of a translator was that it was not ergonomic to write with as it is too large. The pen's weight was much lighter than I expected it however it was too thick and I found my fingers fatigued from holding it for too long, I have fairly large hands and still thought it was too hefty to hold. Despite this the pen writes quite well and the cartridge doesnt smudge. I find my handwriting has slightly improved as it needs to be legible in order for it to be converted into text. Overall 4.9/5 This pen exceeded my expectations however I wish that it was more comfortable to write with, had the translator, and included handwriting to text conversion without the additional cost. These shortcomings were greatly offset by its features which definately work as advertised and the simple desktop software and pen UI made this a breeze to setup and use. Overall I would recommend this product to other students especially those with disabilities but wish that future models will have the missing features and be more ergonomic to write with.

This is my second Livescribe Smartpen. My first purchase was when I was in college and it came in really handy recording all my class lectures. Not only does the Livescribe pen record but it allows for you to capture all your notes and upload to your computer. There is a small camera at the tip of the pen which allows for it to capture everything you write down. Now, fast forward 10 years later I have now upgraded to the Livescribe Echo Smartpen and I use this at my workplace to capture all my notes and share on-line and record all my meeting minutes. This tool is such a life saver for me. I will agree with others about the displays. In all my prior Livescribe Smartpens the displays have eventually died. The pens still function, but it really makes use difficult, and this is the main reason I've replaced a couple of generations of their pens. As with the small (but very good) ink cartridges, buy these with your eyes wide open to their life-span / cost of operating. You should get multiple years out of the pen, but they are not immortal. They will eventually fail under typical use. I still feel I get my money's worth from the functionality. But make no mistake: the pens are consumables, not life-time investments. If that may tick you off, don't buy this technology.

executive summary: 1. this is probably more useful to some people than to others. think about what other options exist. 2. it works as advertised, although sometimes you need to "drive slowly". very fast writers probably need not apply. 3. Livescribe seems to have chosen an implementation approach that thwarts obvious useful usage models. I did consider the purchase carefully, but still I probably don't need this device and I'll certainly never get my money's worth out of it ($80), but I have made some use of it. Why? As an engineer, I typically do static diagrams - and visio is good enough for that if I'm not rushed. Some basic features I was expecting to be present have turned out to be missing. (see summary #1) I suppose this *might* be useful to a student for taking notes - but I seem to remember my teachers writing very fast. (see summary #2) and now on to the damning summary #3 explanation: I'd probably find it useful to create a dynamic presentation - however it appears that I have to upload it in order to share, and due to work confidentiality uploading is *utterly* out of the question - this would be true even if there was a security key on the cloud ... I need to be able to just email it to a coworker - but that option isn't available. I have no idea why this option isn't available. there is a ~$15 app available to allow it to display while recording, but otherwise it is a rather annoying process of draw first, then download, then display. Also there really isn't any way to "undo" and recreate something - you *can* delete any single pen stroke, but this can be tedious. The ink is already on the magic paper and that particular spot of magic paper is unique. No repair, just do-overs. to be frank, most of the other apps appear to be of little value (other than the aforementioned one -which I haven't decided to buy yet) , and there really aren't nearly as many apps as I would have expected to be available given how long the product has been on the market. One point deducted for apparent obfuscation of feature-set and utility. One point deducted for shooting self in foot. I'm just happy that I went with the very base Echo 2GB model. Can I see this being useful to others? yes. would I buy this for myself again? No.

Love my echo live scribe, use it for class at work and anything else where I need to make sure I got all my information. I can go back to my notes and click to hear what I missed detail wise and write it down as it plays. I can plug it into my computer and download the files and even what I wrote in my notebook. Making it easier to organize schools classes. I first had a loaner from school but the audio files don’t work I guess so I bought one, now it does. If you really want to help yourself taking better notes get one of these and some extra notebooks. They have a 4 pack on here so you can use for each subject, class. Easy to use last long time two hour lectures I’ve recorded on the lowest quality of audio quality in settings. That saves you space too, can fit a lot of lectures on here and also make a study sheet for tests and quizzes with it. Write out your question and then test yourself, listen to your audio recorded answer until you finally get it and understand what you were learning. It has helped me with my schooling and my note taking skills at work.
