LiveScribe, an Oakland, Ca
LiveScribe, an Oakland, Calif. company, releases tomorrow one of the more wondrous communication features we’ve seen lately.
It has developed technology that lets you take handwritten notes from a lecture or interview with a high-tech pen. The pen will remember everything that was being said when you took the notes.
So if you’re looking for a portion of the conversation you didn’t quite understand or remember, you simply tap your paper notes, and the spoken interview will play back for you.
The technology is all stored in the pen, which has an audio recorder, but which also has sophisticated visual sensors that tracks tiny dots on the paper you’re using so that it remembers which spot in the lecture matches which notes you took.
More profoundly, the company’s software lets you build applications on the paper. So you can email your article directly from your notes, or even post an article to your blog from your notes! Without logging on to the computer.
LiveScribe requires special paper - the tiny dots spaced out at particular unique intervals — but otherwise the paper looks quite normal.
