Review: Nice update to previous pen models - now its worth having - I have bought previous versions of the Livescribe smart pen but returned them all. They all felt like gadgets rather than a pen. Plus, they look like a gadget, you have to push buttons to turn them on, oh and your customers/suppliers/other meeting attendees will find the LCD displays distracting. Then when they learn it can record their conversations...well you can imagine thats not popular in business environments. The Smartpen 3 is different to the previous ones and as such I have kept it and fallen (a bit) in love with it. It looks like a PEN which is a good start. No fumbling with on/off buttons either, just rotate the barrel to extend the barrel and turn it on. No distracting display (just a status light) and... no recording! I am so pleased about that omission. Well OK, so the pen can get your iPhone/iPad to record (if the app is running) but there is no microphone or memory for recording on the pen itself. If you are a student this might be an annoying miss by Livescribe, for me its a relief that I don't get asked 'are you recording this' all the time in meetings. Overall I love it but there are a few gripes I have with it: 1... The refill ballpoint in the barrel rattles when you write. Solution - wrap one-wrap of scotch tape around the refill just above the ball point. That makes it snugger and hence, no rattling. 2... You get a free subscription to Evernote which makes you think woo-boo this also works with Evernote! Well technically/legally it probably does, but not in the way previous pens were integrated more fully with Evernote. So why the subscription...? 3... The instructions are useless. OK, you get the basics on turning on/off, using the app, replacing the refill etc. But nothing significant on the workflow options you have in getting your handwritten notes into other applications, or backup, or converted to typed text. Google and trial/error are your only supporters here. 4... (this may be linked to 3 above) I cannot find a way to back up all notes except by relying on your ipad/iphone being backed up to your PC/Mac/iCloud. 5... (again might be 3-above linked again) it would be easier to be able to go on a screen on your Mac/PC (ie a large screen) to sort your notes and then split/send out/file/transfer to Onenote/pdf etc with a fast mouse and large screen. No, you have to do it on your iPhone/ipad. Unless, I am just missing that instruction sheet too This is a huge improvement by Livescribe over all previous efforts and hats-off to them for continuing to upgrade and develop what is going to be a killer product one day. They do have good web forums and they do respond to questions on them (so I should probably ask my 5 points above there) so they get credit for their service too. The folio that comes with the 'pro' version is very nice too - feels high quality, looks good when you carry / use it and holds the pen neatly. There are better ballpoint refills available too - do a Google search you and you come across them. They still need the wrap of Scotch tape but write more smoothly (the right ones anyway) than the Livescribe refill. If they designed this so it would take Mont Blanc refills.... wow... killer product again (or maybe they do fit...)
Review: GREAT tool...but takes patience at first - I'm an author and I write wherever the words come to me. Sometimes that's on a laptop; sometimes I write longhand. Often I mix it up but I've written entire books in longhand. And the thing that sucks about that is the length of time it takes to type up my work afterward. So, when I saw that this tool actually existed, one that would allow me to write longhand and convert my work to digital text without all of that typing, man I was excited. I mean we're talking about anywhere from 50K-70K words. Set Up: So I get my bundle of joy home and set it up. This was the most frustrating part and why I knocked off a star. I downloaded the app (which required some updates so it took a while) on my iPad mini and iPhone 5s. tried to connect the pen via bluetooth, first on my phone, then on my mini, then on my phone again. I have less trouble squeezing into my Spanx. Took forever...it seems. Well, it felt like forever because you want it to work right away, the first time. So, 20 minutes or a half hour feels like forever. Finally worked after figuring out a routine. The process I now use to get the pen to connect is, open the app. Click the pen on. The first time it blinks green. I let it blink a few seconds. Turn it off. Turn it back on, wait a few seconds, and voila! It starts blinking blue. Have no idea why that works but I don't question it. Next Challenge--Writing: Now my pen is blinking blue and I start writing and it looks like...absolute crap. I tried print. I tried cursive. I wasted six pages of scribbling and not only did it look like crap, it transcribed in to jibberish. Just like in the uploaded customer photo, that's what happened to me. It didn't recognize anything I wrote. the pen made all of these squiggly lines. Exactly like the customer photo uploaded. I was about ready to send the thing back for a refund. But then I said, let's just try again, just one more time. The benefit is SO worth it. I have a pretty long stroke with the pen. Big handwriting. This time, I simply wrote cursive, careful to stay between the lines, and like magic, the thing worked perfectly. I mean, my mouth is hitting the ground because I was two seconds from throwing the thing back in a box. When I attempted to convert it to digital text, perfect...except it had a tough time recognizing my cursive "S." I selected the text, converted it--then emailed a page to myself, converted the PDF to text, and pasted it in my document. Took about two minutes. Making a few edits versus having to type the entire book totally works for me. So, long story short, have patience. Takes a little practice. But once you work out the handwriting style that works, you will wonder why you didn't buy one of these sooner. I will come back and post a couple of photos as soon as I take them and update if I have issues. Right now, I can definitely recommend it--especially for authors.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Product has potential but needs work before safe to use - LiveScribe need to sack their Application Development lead
*by A***R on April 26, 2014*

I'm on my 3rd Livescribe pen. While a touch light for my personal preference, "3" is otherwise very good and a pleasure to write with. It's easily activated by twisting the ring on the shaft, which also serves to expose the ink cartridge tip, ready for note taking. It starts up fast and links via BT4.0 quickly and efficiently to my iPhone 5S. I have a second pairing with my iPad. First I had an Echo, which served me very well for a few years but when the display burnt out and couldn't be repaired I moved on. Second, I had a Sky. Great potential, but seemingly endless problems with syncing. Still have it and it still works (sort of) but when I saw 3, I thought "This is it!" Third, my "3". On paper, this looks terrific. It also functioned very well in terms of syncing and software updates. BUT, I lost EVERYTHING that I'd recorded in one foul swoop and LiveScribe support simply acknowledged it as a bug but said there was nothing I could do about it. Unimpressed, but trying to be fair, I asked how I can archive my content to prevent such a disaster again. So far I haven't got a useful answer. Please note that I verge on extreme with my backup activities, so losing data is a rarity for me. Yet, my daily phone backups couldn't help me restore what I'd lost. I'll write a bit more about the failure at the end together with a possible solution which may work if you respond early and in the correct sequence. The next issue goes more toward the management of content that's generated through LiveScribe products. My content from these 3 different pens appear to have no way to locally consolidate. Effectively, what I require is a virtual bookcase for my LiveScribe books/journals. Regardless of how they were created AND they should each include both pen annotations and audio. The initial App that came with my Echo was the best, so far, and mostly worked the way I required. However, generally UI design left a fair bit to be desired. I faced another problem during the Echo period when I returned to Apple Mac world after a period on PC's. According to LiveScribe and others, my files should have been compatible between platforms, but sadly the audio wouldn't play. Another issue with the LiveScribe+ app is that your text notes can sync to multiple devices, but as the audio is recorded by your device, there's no method to sync that audio with another device. Basically, while "3" can sync with multiple devices you really can only use it with one IF you are recording audio which you intend to be able to access. I sincerely believe that LiveScribe are close to a truly winning product BUT until they get their act together, and ensure the companion software behaves as required, their solution remains hamstrung. If you can live with the limitations that I touched on and/or are prepared to risk loosing your all your audio, go ahead and get this; otherwise look elsewhere. Failure: My experience: After encountering syncing problems on my iPhone 5S with iTunes, I decided to reset my device. That process was successful and the syncing problem I'd been facing was gone. However, the first time I opened Livescribe+ I received a message that read something like 'unable to access your database' 'creating a new one' 'contact engineering for more assistance'. Yes, the message really included the phrase "contact engineering"!!! Failure: What I believe happened: Not long before I reset my iPhone there was an update to Livescribe+ and that included doing a database update within the App. I believe when I first attempted to start the Livescribe+ app (which hadn't yet been updated), the newer database wasn't compatible with the older app. Sadly, instead of a warning message to 'update the app or risk loosing the data'', it immediately created a new database without any method available to access the old one. Failure: The Solution: After such a restore AND BEFORE you start the Livescribe+ application, ensure it's been updated to the latest version. *** Tip 1 "Reducing disruption to recordings from incoming calls" *** (Added 27th April, 2014 - Meant to include this on my original post) --- Problem: "3"'s behaviour when a call is received during an audio recording session is to pause the recording. It will remain paused until you reject the call or the caller hangs up; then the recording will resume PROVIDED that the Livescribe+ app is still active. If you take the call OR if the Livescribe+ App was in the background (which includes where the screen was locked) you need to reopen the Livescribe+ app and then interactively resume the recording. This is quite inconvenient and has resulted in several big gaps in my audio recordings. --- Solution 1: If you have the luxury of having an iPad, then use it for your recordings. Incoming calls cease to be an issue on the iPad, so this source of audio recording disruption is gone. In any case, look at your pen from time to time, the LED should be red when recording audio and blue when linked to your device! --- Solution 2: Put the Livescribe+ shortcut key on your device's shortcut bar, so it's more quickly accessible to start and/or resume recordings. *** End Tip 1 *** Summary: I really want to love and recommend this product. Unfortunately, at this point I don't believe it's ready for commercial use by the operational standards of 2014! At best the solution is in an early beta phase and a few significant updates are required before it's ready for broad commercial deployment.
