This smartpen aids in notetaking by combining your handwritten notes with audio recordings of all discussions and lectures. The pen uses the Livescribe+ app to store your notes and recordings on your mobile device through Bluetooth. By using the pen with special Livescribe paper, your notes are copied in real-time to your device so that you have both the physical and electronic copies. With the microphone of your mobile device, you are able to record audio as you write so that it pairs the recordings with your notes in the app. As you review your notes, you can listen to the whole recording or just go back to certain points to review key points or to something you missed the first time.
