A starter kit with several different sizes of notepads would be nice. One downside is you always need to have the dot paper. While Livescribe produces a whole range of paper notebooks, you can print out the dot paper from the Windows version of the Livescribe Desktop software (Mac version of this feature is in the works). It also groups everything into sessions and recognises different notepads you've used so that it becomes a great organisational tool. Within the software, you can click on words to play back recordings the same way you would with the pen. What's more, it captures everything you've written as well and exactly as you've written it. The Livescribe Desktop software runs on PCs and Macs and enables the pen to synchronise its recordings with your computer. Supplied are headphones with a microphone in each of the earbuds, so you can record in stereo. It's a clever solution to work around the compact shape of a digital pen and it has enabled Livescribe to include additional features, such as a calculator, translation function (write a word and it reads it back in another language) and a novelty piano mode (draw an octave of keys to simulate a piano). Along the bottom of every page is a row of printed "buttons" that controls the pen's functions, such as record, pause, stop and volume. Its makers have tried to make the pen as easy to use as possible by placing the controls on the paper instead of cramming buttons on the pen. Since what you write has no bearing on the recording, other than setting a marker for the audio file, you can doodle, draw graphs or pretty much anything. Livescribe calls it Dot Paper, as there are microscopic dots all over the writing page that the pen's built-in infrared camera recognises. Of course, this means the pen requires a special kind of paper to work. Livescribe Pulse Smartpen: delivers a lot of versatility.
