Livescribe's Pulse smartpen revolutionises the simple act of writing. Pulse gives consumers all the portability, flexibility and ease-of-use of a pen with the functionality and power of a computer.

Pulse records and syncs audio with whatever you write, so you never miss a word. Users can tap directly on their notes to replay recorded audio from the time they were writing. Pulse connects to your computer so users can transfer, search and share their notes online with friends or colleagues.

Using an application called Paper Replay, Pulse records and syncs audio with whatever you write. Users can then tap directly on words or drawings with Pulse to replay what was recorded from the moment they were writing.

Users can also pause, fast forward, rewind, slow down or speed up recordings using a printed toolbar within the notebook.

With the Livescribe Desktop software, users can transfer notes to their PC to backup, replay, search for words within their notes, and share them online.

Notes and drawings can also be shared with friends and colleagues as interactive Flash movies (or pencasts) online. Pulse also works with pre-printed materials on Livescribe dot paper, such as calculators and other utilities that enhance productivity.

The smartpen responds to preprinted and handwritten commands, providing immediate audio and visual feedback.
