Livescribe has been extensively renowned and highly respected due to their innovative computing platform that includes smartpens, dot paper and software applications that changes the way people capture, use and share information. The use of ordinary paper and pen in this digital era we are living in often gives frustrating limitations to our productivity. It is difficult to share paper documents broadly, especially when we don’t have much time. Hand-written notes are having a great tendency to be lost and damaged. The weakest point of conventional paper and pen usage is the limited connectivity it provides, despite how rich the content on a piece of paper is.

But now, thanks to Livescribe and their amazing products, those boundaries we have from dealing with ordinary paper and pen are completely knocked over. Their pulse smartpens carry out all features you need to maximize the freedom of expression and rich context afforded by pen and paper while delivering the connectivity and archiving system. Smartpens has the ability to record audio and links it to what you write. It means that you can review your notes afterward by simply tapping on them to listen to your audio notes while you are reading your text notes.

The innovation does not stop there. Livescribe has also released another useful feature for their smartpens, namely the pencast. This feature allows you to further combine the notes and/or drawings you make and the audio you record into a Flash-based video presentation. Now it is possible and unbelievably easy for you to create videos where you make some sketches and tell people what those are all about as you draw. This ability makes pencasts undoubtedly powerful tools in transferring information, studying, or teaching activities. The files you create using a pencast can be added to your website or blog as they are in a form of Flash extension.
