Smartpen

Last Month I purchased a Pulse Smartpen manufactured by a company called Livescribe.

The main drawbacks that I have noticed with the smartpen relate to the desktop software (I am running the latest windows version). It is rather "flaky", for example it will fail to download the audio associated with a page for many sync sessions and then for no apparent reason the audio will finally download. Downloading the text from a notebook is much more reliable. The main issues is with downloading the audio.

Once the pages have been downloaded they can be converted to PDF which works fairly well. Pages with audio can also be uploaded to the web and held in your own Livescribe account. This process is also a little "flaky" I have found it difficult at times to upload the range of pages I wanted to. It would consistently upload the last page in the range and not the whole sequence of pages.

Apart from that the pen itself works well when playing back audio associated with a page. Once the audio is downloaded to the PC it will play in sync with the text. It's just getting to to download that can be tricky.

Today I am going to install MyScript for Windows and evaluate its usefulness. If it works as well as I hope it will I will purchase a copy.

Rupert.

New smartpen and paper to help teach blind college students

Physorg.com (2007). New smartpen and paper to help teach blind college students Retrieved from http://www.physorg.com/news115908934.html

Subjects like physics, calculus and biology are challenging for most students, but imagine tackling these topics without being able to see the graphs and figures used to teach them. A new smartpen and paper technology that works with touch and records classroom audio aims to bring these subjects to life for blind students.
