The Livescribe 3 Smartpen was recently released. This pen has a built in camera that, with special paper, allows you to digitally record what you write and see it later on the Livescribe+ app.
You need to take notes on the special Livescribe paper in the form of journals or notebooks or print your own paper with a color laser printer.
One of the nice features with this pen is that you can also record audio while you write. However, you need to use the microphone from your iOS device to record. This product allows you to take notes while you record.
One of the other features of the app is that you can turn your handwriting into text and search it. You can learn more about the app here.
The latest 1.0.5 update provides the following fixes and improvements:
– Fixed crashes encountered during some Pencast recordings.
– Support for Simplified Chinese.
– Firmware updater for Livescribe 3 Smartpens.
– Fixed inability to connect simultaneously with a Pebble Smartwatch.
The Livescribe 3 pen works with iOS 7 devices including iPad 3rd Gen and later and iPhone 4s and later. Update the firmware on your pen with this newest app update via settings.
