  • Easy to use, a great concept well executed. Boss hates it.
Pattern Name: Single
Ok, this thing is simply cool. I had been looking for a very long time for a way to digitize my notes to make them easier to find. An associate of mine has one of these and after I asked he showed me what it can do and how it works. First off the fact that it gets my notes on the computer is great. If you are anything like I am, you take a lot of notes and then lose them. With this they are always available and the best thing is that the software makes them searchable. That is brilliant and it actually works. The second coolest thing about this is that it records the meeting / class / etc. as well. I haven't reduced the number of notes that I take (I thought I would) but I have noticed that when I have a question about a note that I can just listen to the recording. The part that makes it cool is that by tapping the pen on the note it plays the recording starting from that point. I don't have to try to find where it was discussed it just plays it. The pen is pretty nice. It feels like it is a quality device. The refills for it aren't very expensive and the paper that you use with it comes in a lot of varieties. So far I really like this but I have to say, my boss is not a fan. Now when he tells me something its recorded. Next time we talk about it and his memory of what he said doesn't match what I heard I can refer back to the note, tap it and he can hear exactly what he told me to do. Everyone in the meeting loves the look on his face when I play something back for him. 3 other associates have purchased these over the last couple weeks, our meetings are starting to look like a LiveScribe user convention. ... show more

  • Game changer for students who are hard of hearing/ ADHD/ Etc.
Pattern Name: Single
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! ... show more

  • This is my second Livescribe Smartpen. My first purchase ...
Pattern Name: Single
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. ... show more
