Session Synopsis:
Livescribe Smartpen** captures everything you hear,draw and write, allowing you to simply tap the ink on you notebooks to play back everything recorded at that moment. The Smartpen then transfers all notes and recordings to a desktop, laptop, tablet, or other mobile device, so you can access files anytime, anywhere. You can search for key phrases and create custom digital notebooks to better organize your notes. Smartpens are also useful study tools for creating interactive vocabulary flash cards, practicing essay prompts, and recording tutoring sessions when preparing for the upcoming standardized tests.
