Each student was given an Echo 4GB smartpen. The smaller sample of students allowed us to observe how these products were actually used by the student. In order to learn more about the Livescribe smartpen, the YCDC asked six students, five in high school and one in eighth grade, to use the pen for six weeks. If you choose, you can even purchase additional applications, such as a dictionary for the Livescribe smartpen. You can also share your notes with your friends through e-mail, Evernote, Facebook, and such. Individual, customized notebooks can be created–one for science, math or history, for example. New notes will appear in a different-colored ink. You can add notes to your notebook at any time and then re-dock your pen to the computer.
You can also search for a particular word and listen from there. If you have used the audio recording you can place your cursor on a word and the audio playback will begin at that point. Your notes appear just as they were written. In addition to listening to the audio recording by tapping on your notes, you can transfer notes to your computer through Livescribe Desktop software. If when listening to the audio recording you discover you have missed important information, you can add it to your notes at that time. The audio will begin from that point in your notes. Later on you can go back and listen to any part of the audio recording by tapping anywhere on your written notes. If you choose to record and take notes simultaneously, you can spend more time listening to the speaker and then write only the most important information. Stop the recording whenever you want by tapping on the “stop” or “pause” icon. If you are a slow writer, have difficulty taking notes, or simply want to record the speaker, tap on the “record” icon at the bottom of the page and the pen will record what is said from that moment on. If you choose not to take notes, you can record audio and replay the session. You can print your own paper if you have a compatible laser printer. The Livescribe smartpen works with Livescribe dot paper which comes in a variety of sizes.
Once the pen is turned on, which requires the click of a button, the pen will begin taking a picture of the notes that you write. It also has a built-in microphone that lets you record what is being said. Inside the pen is a camera that takes a picture of your notes as you write them. The Livescribe smartpen captures everything that you write and everything that is spoken. Advocacy Back Toolkit for Parents, Educators and Students.Toolkit for Parents, Educators and Students.
