When you start your smartpen, it is ready to capture anything you write on Livescribe Dot Paper.
Your smartpen captures and stores your notes as digital ink. You can then send your notes to your computer or other destinations using Livescribe Connect or Livescribe Desktop. When you are taking notes without the need to record audio at the same time, simply start your smartpen and begin writing.
To record audio as you take notes, use the Paper Replay smartpen app. Using Paper Replay, your smartpen records audio and links it to what you write. Later, you can tap on any of your notes and hear the audio recorded from that moment. Each time you use Paper Replay, it stores the information it captures as a Paper Replay session.
You also can use Paper Replay to record audio only. The resulting audio is a standalone recording not linked to your notes. This kind of recording is called a paperless session.
You can add notes to any audio recording (even paperless sessions) by playing back pre-recorded audio and writing as you listen. This process is called annotating and is useful when you need to clarify or expand your notes by reviewing the audio.
The Paper Replay printed controls are not page-specific. For example, you can tap the Record button on one page to start recording, and then tap the Stop button on a different page to stop recording.
