Taking notes and getting it right has never been easier at work or in class. The Pulse™ smartpen from Livescribe™ records everything you hear, say and write, while linking your audio recordings to your notes. Later, just tap your handwritten notes to play back what was said at that point in time. Spend less time writing and more time listening, knowing that you’ll find what you need when you need it.
Ideal for meetings, conferences, or classes, this compact and light productivity tool is as easy to carry as traditional pen-and-paper, but smarter. Replay your audio recordings any time, anywhere, with a quick tap on your notes or drawings.
Whether you're digitizing your notes and audio, or adding additional smartpen apps you'll need storage space; with 2GB of memory, your smartpen has plenty to get going right out of the box. An 2GB smartpen can hold over 200 hours of audio*, thousands of pages of notes, or dozens of applications.
Using the free Livescribe™ Desktop software, you can easily upload, save and play back your interactive notes and audio recordings from your PC or Mac. Use the search window to find specific words or phrases — Livescribe Desktop will highlight every place you wrote them in your notes. You can also organize your digital notes simply by dragging and dropping pages in to custom notebooks, or export them into other applications like Evernote®.

Awesome pen!,
This review is from: Livescribe 2 GB Pulse Smartpen (Personal Computers)
This is an excellent pen in its own right - extremely reliable right up until the cartridge runs out of ink, but additionally adds a great deal of utility in terms of being able to do voice recordings and get what is essentially a movie of yourself writing while recording sound. The pen is tremendously under-marketed by Livescribe and (in my opinion) most people are not really made aware of its full potential. The only way to really get what it's capable of is to watch some of the video reviews on Youtube.
Features I would like to see on future pens include better battery monitoring (currently, the meter is a little inaccurate), ink level monitoring and a small, compact tool for removing spent ink cartridges. Also, it would be nice if I could charge the pen with something more common like micro USB rather than the proprietary dock.

Amazed - very useful,
By ART SEDIGHI (Old Bethpage, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Livescribe 2 GB Pulse Smartpen (Personal Computers)
I was looking for a digital-notepad that I can use while attending meetings, etc to take notes. I looked at a number of different solutions, and came across this product at J&R store. Purchased it, and figured I would return it if I didn't like it.
Let me tell you, I am amazed at the technology and the thought that has gone into building this product. You have two options: taking notes, and taking notes with audio. You can start writing, and it will "record" and transfer your writing into documents once you sync with your PC. You need to your their paper, and that is probably the only downside. To be honest, I do not know how they could provide some of their features otherwise. You can "click" on record, and start writing. Their paper has a record button at the bottom of every page, and when you move your pen over it, it recognizes it and it starts recording. Now, start typing, and it will record as you type. Stop recording, and it will remember what was recorded while you typed. So, if you tab the pen somewhere on the paper and it will replay that exact time of the recording. Simply amazing, and it words flawlessly. Connect the pen to your PC, and it will synchronize your documents and recording. You can do the same replay on your desktop, convert to PDF, print, save, etc. You can upload and convert the entire session into a flash to be viewed by anyone! The icing is the applications that you can purchase for the pen. The pen is a small computer that you can install applications such as a dictionary, calculator, etc. You install the English-Spanish dictionary, and write a word down on paper. It will translate it you Spanish! There are a whole slew of applications for this pen. If you are a developer you can write applications more it, and like iPhone, sell it! I highly recommend. The price is higher than I would have liked, but I am sure that I will come down once more and more people buy it.

Horrible Customer Support,
This review is from: Livescribe 2 GB Pulse Smartpen (Personal Computers)
After using the pen for a week or so (and loving it), the battery would no longer hold a charge. I contacted Livescribe customer support and for several times over a period of 3 to 4 weeks they kept telling me in different ways that I need to make sure it is plugged in right. I would respond to each suggestion with all of the steps that I had done using different computers and configurations just to wait 3 for 4 days for another email suggesting that I make sure it is plugged in properly. Not once during the month or so did anyone suggest that Livescribe actually repair or replace the unit. While it was 'alive' I loved it, but be warned if you have a problem with it, you might be out of luck.
