The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen is a smart device that is ideal for professionals and college students alike - it helps you write down only the important keywords that you hear during a meeting, interview, or a conference, and automatically records audio and links it to your writing. Later, when you are taking a second look at your notes and if you are having hard time recalling what was said, all you have to do is tap on a keyword and you can listen to audio that has captured everything that was said when you were writing that keyword down.

What technology does the Smartpen utilize to make this happen?

The Smartpen has a tiny infrared camera at the tip of the pen, which captures your writing, and embedded dual microphones that record the audio; the built-in speaker let's you replay the audio, but if you are on a plane or any other place, where you want to listen to your notes without disturbing the people around you, you can plug in earphones and do exactly that. The storage device that the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen uses is a built-in flash memory card, which can be as big as 4GB, depending on the model; the 1GB card is capable of storing 100 recorded hours, while the 4GB can store up to 400 recorded hours and that is likely to be more than you will ever need!

In order to use the device, you need special dot print paper, which is slightly more expensive than the normal paper, but 100 sheet notebook is included in the box, and you can also print your own dot paper. Once you are done taking your notes, you simply place the Smartpen on the USB doc that it comes with, connect the cable to your computer and your notes will be automatically transferred to the hard drive. Once there, you can organize them, share them, and even search for a specific keyword.

This gadget comes with additional fun and useful features like the Quick Calc, which is a simple calculator that you can draw in your notebook and use, paper piano, third-party transcribing software, and more. The functionality of the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen can be further extended by computer programs, developed by outside software vendors.
