I have chosen Livecribe 3 smartpen as my best device.
I am all about ease and convenience and when doing my research, I found livescribe to be my best device. It would be a device I would actually utilize. I am horrible at taking notes in class or work meetings this is the device for me! It can be a little pricey starting around 199.00 but I think it would be worth it.
What is it??
The
Livescribe 3 is the new iOS-friendly Smartpen from Livescribe, communicating
with your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth direct into the companion Livescribe
app. The pen uses a regular ball-pen tip, and hidden inside the barrel is a
camera which tracks the pen as you write. It only works on Livescribe’s special
paper, which is covered in an almost invisible pattern of tiny dots that let
the pen keep track of it. Fortunately this paper is cheap, and comes in many
forms – You can also print your own
paper if you use a 600dpi laserjet printer.
The
pen switches on with a twist of the barrel, and status lights let you know what
it’s doing. You only need to pair the pen once, in the app, for it to be
automatically recognized in the future.
You
can write on paper and watch the progress in the app as you go. Then, when you
open the app, all your work is instantly transferred.
Charging
is done via a microUSB port hidden under the rubber “eraser” at the top of the
pen. The hardware is as simple as an actual pen.
Here are a couple of examples.
In page view you will see your entire page of notes exactly how they were written.
Feed view splits your notes into useful snippets that are arranged chronologically allowing you to work with the specific pieces of information you need.
This device has way too many benefits to list.
