Introducing the Livescribe Smartpen

Your Livescribe smartpen synchronizes the audio you hear to what you write, so you never miss a word. Just tap on your notes and the smartpen plays back what you recorded from that exact moment in time.

The smartpen provides both audio and visual feedback, powerful processing capabilities, and substantial built-in storage. The smartpen integrates several components and technologies. It also uses firmware and software to support the interaction of all of its components and to enable built-in handwriting recogni-tion, and apps such as Paper Replay, among many others.

When you start your smartpen and begin writing on Livescribe Dot Paper, the smartpen captures and stores the notes you write. To capture your writing, the smartpen uses its built-in infrared camera to take digital snapshots of a special dot pattern on the paper as the tip moves over the paper while you write.

When recording audio with the Paper Replay app, the smartpen links your notes to the recorded audio. When you tap on your notes, your smartpen locates the tapped position and plays back the audio linked to that location.
