Awesome pen!
By John Henry
This is an magnificent pen in it is own right - exceedingly authenti right up until the cartridge runs out of ink, but in addition adds a outstanding deal of utility in terms of being capable to do voice recordings and get what is fundamentally a movie of yourself writing while recording sound. The pen is tremendously under-marketed by Livescribe and (in my opinion) most persons are not genuinely made conscious of it is full potential. The only way to in truth get what it's capable of is to watch a heap of 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 expended ink cartridges. Also, it would be nice if I could charge the pen with something more mutual like micro USB rather than the proprietary dock.

Amazed - very useful
By ART SEDIGHI
I was looking for a digital-notepad that I may use while attending meetings, etc to take notes. I looked at a number of dissimilar solutions, and came throughout 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 astonished at the engineering and the thought that has gone into building this product. You have two options: taking notes, and taking notes with audio.
You may begin 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 recognise how they could provide some of their features otherwise.
You may "click" on record, and commence writing. Their paper has a record button at the bottom of each page, and when you move your pen over it, it recognizes it and it starts recording.
Now, start out typing, and it will record as you type. Stop recording, and it will do not forget what was recorded while you typed. So, if you tab the pen someplace on the paper and it will replay that precise 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 may do the same replay on your desktop, convert to PDF, print, save, etc. You may upload and convert the entire session into a flash to be viewed by anyone!
The icing is the apps that you may buy for the pen. The pen is a little computer that you may install apps 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 apps for this pen. If you are a developer you may write apps more it, and like iPhone, trade 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 persons buy it.

Horrible Support
By D. Winton
After using the pen for a week or so (and loving it), the battery would no longer hold a charge. I contacted Livescribe client help and for various times over a amount of time of 3 to 4 weeks they kept telling me in dissimilar 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 dissimilar computers and configurations just to wait 3 for 4 days for another email proposing that I make sure it is plugged in properly. Not once for the duration of the month or so did any person suggest that Livescribe in truth fix or replace the unit. While it was 'alive' I loved it, but be cautioned if you have a problem with it, you might be out of luck.
