This is the Echo Smartpen from Livescribe. It records everthing you write and hear. Write notes during a meeting or lecture. Draw diagrams, mark important information. To replay, just tap your notes and high quality audio plays back from that exact moment. You can jump forward, or go back to notes from days, months, even years ago. The Echo Smartpen connects to your PC or MAC computer by USB cable to transfer your notes and audio to Echo Desktop. After the transfer, your digital notes and audio come to life as an interactive document called a pencast. Pencasts allow you to hear, see and relive your notes exactly as they were recorded. To search your handwritten notes, type in any word. Echo Desktop searches for every place that word appears in your writing. Stay organized with custom notebooks, by combining pages from different notebooks. Notes can be transcribed into typed text by downloading an app that is sold separately. You can even share your notes and audio as an interactive PDF viewable by anyone using a computer or mobile device. The Echo Smartpen, it's time your notes worked for you.
