  • Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadget
  • Chunky pen
  • Pen tip loose
  • Requires special paper
  • Most add-on apps seem like gimmicks
  • Would have liked to be able to dock my iPhone 4 with its case on

  • Would have liked an FM/AM Radio feature so you can listen to the news in the morning
  • Chunky
  • Expensive

  • zuverlässige Texterkennung, Enwicklungsumgebung für AppProgrammierer, 500 MByte OnlineSpeicher,
  • noch keine Apps in Deutschland erhältlich, Notizen nicht als WordDokument exportierbar,
  • Der Livescribe Echo ist ein praktischer Begleiter für all diejenigen, die immer noch lieber auf Papier herumkritzeln als in die Tasten zu hauen. Er zeichnet sowohl Geschriebenes als auch Gesprochenes zuverlässig auf. Zudem gibt es die Möglichkeit, ein...

  • Een Livescribe-pen kan voordelen hebben als je vaak notities moet maken. Een laptop is zwaar om mee te nemen en een iPad is niet altijd handig genoeg om langere stukken te typen. Met Livescribe Echo heb je toch alle gespreksverslagen en notities in digita...

  • Eenvoudige bediening, Geluidsopnamen koppelen aan notities, Notities worden goed overgezet naar de pc
  • OCR-software optioneel, Muisdriver optioneel, Headset niet meer standaard
  • Net als zijn voorganger is de Livescribe Echo een prima product. Aantekeningen worden feilloos omgezet naar digitale notities en u kunt geluidsopnamen koppelen aan de notities. Als u vaak aantekeningen maakt, dan kan deze pen zeker zijn nut bewijzen. De w...

  • De Livescribe Smartpen ziet er op het eerste gezicht uit als een gewone pen. Wel wat dikker en met een digitaal display. Hij schrijft ondanks de dikte prima. Let wel: als je gesprekken opneemt, heb je officieel toestemming nodig van je gesprekspartner. We...

  • gebruiksvriendelijk; handige manier van noteren,
  • speciaal papier voor nodig; microfoon niet sterk genoeg voor grote ruimtes.

  • Abstract:  Det gjør denne pennen til det ideelle verktøyet for deg som skal ta notater samtidig som noe blir sagt. Typiske bruksområder er møtereferater, forelesninger og intervjuer, men du kan like gjerne bruke pennen for å notere ned en oppskrift som noen leser op...

  • Abstract:  Ud over at registrere, hvad du skriver, så ved kameraet præcis, hvor du er på papiret. På den måde overføres din håndskrift til pc’en. LiveScribe Echo kan dog en del mere. For det første har den indbygget mikrofon, headset, højttaler og en lille skærm...
