The combination of the pen camera and these dots tells the pen where the strokes are on the paper so it can record the pen location and the shapes you draw. The paper has tiny micro dots that the pen’s built-in camera can track. The calculator comes inside the front cover of Livescribe notebooks. I was able to do basic, and even complicated, computations. The calculator app works with the image printed inside the tablets, like the one I bought. You’re not going to compose or play a masterpiece, but a musician could test out a simple tune. You can then play simple tunes by tapping with the pen on the keys. With the included piano app you draw a piano (see to of image below) on the special paper.

These connections work well and make the software much more versatile and useful.
The Livescribe Desktop also connects to other services like email, Evernote, Facebook or Google Docs. Others include a guitar, stopwatch or sound effects machine. In addition to notes and audio recording, the pen has apps like the included piano or calculator (and others) that let you play games, read books or listen to books when purchased from the Livescribe store. If you didn’t quite hear the professor or if you can’t read your own chicken scratch, this audio-note syncing helps figure it out. The software highlights words or drawings that you inked at the same timestamp as the audio recorded. Click on a note with your mouse and the audio is played. Once copied to the software the notes sync with the audio.

Tether the pen to a computer via USB and download the notes and audio to the Livescribe Desktop software. Hit the stop button at the bottom of the special paper (see above) and then tap a word or drawing and your pen plays the corresponding the audio. This happens while you’re taking notes, so you can listen to audio that the pen recorded as you wrote those specific words or drew that specific doodle or image. The magic of the Echo Smartpen is in this syncing of the audio and handwriting. You can then connect the pen to your computer to archive, share, print or store them in the cloud along with the corresponding audio. It digitally records your handwritten notes and it also digitally records the audio around you. The Livescribe Echo Smartpen does two things. That depends on your budget and preferences. But in a tablet-crazy world, has technology passed the Echo Smartpen by? The combination of digitally recording your handwritten notes on special note paper, and the audio recorded as you take notes, could potentially be a boon to students or business people who write down a lot of notes. The pen records your handwritten notes and audio helping you keep track of meetings, lectures, or any situation where you want to remember information or save things in audio and/or written form. Sadly, I think that’s the case with the Livescribe’s Echo Smartpen for all but a small group of people. Some gadgets seems really cool when you hear about the concept, but after actually using them you realize that tech has already passed it by.
