Livescribe Echo Smartpen
The Livescribe Echo Smartpen records both what you write and the audio around you, making meetings and lectures easier to review and search. Notes become searchable digital records; the pen is available with 4GB (about 400 hours) or 8GB (about 800 hours) of memory, and includes a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Echo features a refined design and a flat underside to prevent rolling. Using the Livescribe Paper Tablet app (exclusive to the Echo), the pen can function as a pointer or mouse to annotate slides, presentations, PDFs and more. Handwritten notes can be converted to text via third-party tools such as MyScript for Livescribe (sold separately), which supports conversion into editable text in multiple languages for use in Word, email or messages. Livescribe also offers additional apps—like travel phrase tools—to expand the pen’s usefulness. Prices: $149.95 (4GB); $199.95 (8GB).
