OVERVIEW

Livescribe is a paper-based computing platform that consists of a digital pen, digital paper, software applications, and developer tools.

Central to the Livescribe platform is the smartpen, a ballpoint pen with an embedded computer and digital audio recorder. When used with Anoto digital paper, it records what it writes for later uploading to a computer and synchronizes those notes with any audio it has recorded. This allows users to replay portions of a recording by tapping on the notes they were taking at the time the recording was made. It is also possible to select which portion of a recording to replay by clicking on the relevant portion of a page on-screen once it has been synced to the Livescribe Desktop software.

A Livescribe smartpen is about the size and weight of a large pen (5/8" x 6 1/8"), and is equipped with a removable ball-point ink cartridge, a microphone to record audio, a speaker for playback, a small OLED display, an infra-red camera, and internal flash memory that captures handwritten notes, audio and drawings.

The user can choose to record audio in addition to the handwritten text. Recorded audio is kept indexed with the handwritten text—tapping on a written word starts playback of the recorded audio from that part of the recording.

In November 2013, the Livescribe 3 was released. This uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BT 4.0) to store the page content and audio on a smartphone. The physical design made key changes. The OLED screen and the microphone were omitted, and the smartphone's display and microphone were used instead. The pen's battery life improved and still holds the written page content.
