Like previous digital ink pens, the Livescribe Pulse converts your writing to searchable computer files. The Pulse, though, adds audio recording synchronized to your handwriting. Point the pen to a spot in your notes (or click on your computer screen), and hear what was said when you wrote it. That sounds good on paper, but will it work, er, on paper?
Based on this review, I placed an order for the pen, which should help my memory/notetaking as a writer who conducts interviews to build characters for my stories. I look forward to a future add-on -- HWR (handwriting recognition) -- a timesaver all longhand writers desire! Happy Writing, BigCove ================= Where are you going? What's it all about?
