You can send notes and audio to your Google Docs account, using default or custom shortcuts. In this mini-tutorial, you send content using the Specs shortcut you just created.

You can send notes and audio to Google Docs, using default or custom shortcuts.

  1. Draw a Launch Line and write the first few letters of the shortcut word directly above it.

    For example, writing Go displays the Google Docs shortcut. In this example, write Spe to display your Specs shortcut. For more information, see Drawing a Launch Line.

  2. Wait until the smartpen displays: Tap each page to include, then double tap.
  3. Select a page by tapping on it. Select another page in the same notebook by tapping on it. Continue tapping on pages in the same notebook to select them.

    Alternatively, you can select part of a page. For more information, see Selecting Part of a Notebook Page.

  4. (optional) You can select a send format for your notes and audio that is different from the default value. The default format for a shortcut is specified on the Shortcuts tab of the Livescribe Connect computer app.
    1. Using Tap Around and the shortcut word you wrote, tap right to select a different send format for your notes and audio. For more information, see Navigating Submenus with Tap Around.
    2. Tap down to display other available send formats. Tap right to select a send format.
  5. Double-tap on the final page you wish to send.

    A simple PDF is sent to the Design Specifications collection in your Google Docs.
