Livescribe Smartpen

The Pulse smartpen from Livescribe is a computer within a pen that records and links what you hear to what you write so you'll never miss a word in class.

You can listen to your lecture or recordings by tapping on your notes. All your notes and recordings are captured by your Pulse smartpen so there s no need to lug the laptop from class to class. You can also transfer your notes and recordings to your laptop search for words within your notes and share them with classmates and friends.

The 1.3 oz anodized aluminum Pulse smartpen with 1GB of memory captures over 100 hours of recorded audio, while the 2GB of memory can hold over 200 hours of recorded audio and additional applications.

Each package includes:
  • a Pulse smartpen
  • 100 sheet dot paper
  • college ruled notebook
  • 3 D Recording Headset
  • USB mobile charging cradle
  • a smartpen case
  • 3 ink cartridges.

    Audio Jack - Plug your 3D Recording Headset (included in every purchase) into the audio jack to enable enhanced far-field recording. Each earbud in the head set has an embedded microphone that creates a new standard in recording quality in large rooms or noisy environments.

    Power Buttons - Press on the power button to turn your smartpen on. You can also hold it down for two seconds to automatically start recording audio.

    Dual Microphones - Dual microphones combined with on-board noise-canceling software enable the smartpen to record crisp, clear sound.

    OLED Display - High-contrast OLED display makes it easy to navigate and interact with Pulse applications.

    Speaker - Built-in speaker plays back your recorded audio and provides audio feedback for smartpen applications. Tap on the volume buttons on your dot paper to control speaker volume.

    USB Connector - USB Connector recharges Pulse and transfers notes and audio to your PC. Pulse magnetically docks into the USB Mobile Charging Cradle (included). This also allows smartpen users to install new applications from Livescribe.
