Does the Livescribe convert your notes into searchable text? Livescribe 4 GB Pulse Smartpen Does this pen convert your notes into text that you can paste into a searchable application?

Yes, you can search the text. Also, the tech support is really direct. It's really possible that they're reading off a script, but if there is a genuine problem with your pen, and you are persistent, they will repair or replace it.

Yes it can, but the drivers have to be precise. There is a sample test page available on Livescribe's technical support site. I used it once to test, but the paper is so inexpensive, it's much cheaper than printing your own.

I also was wondering what the difference(s) are... I wanted to get one of these, but being a bit skeptical, I read some reviews and they only confirmed my skepticism... Does the 4GB remove some of the original flaws with the initial smartpen (recording problems, anatomical issues, computer compatibility, etc...)? or is it just more memory?

I'm glad you cleared up some of the remaining questions I had. Thank You.I also found YouTube and the website LiveScribe.com to be very helpful with a few little demos. I have put in my order to get the LiveScribe pen. (as well as a separate recorder, as you suggested). - When my college classes are over, I do put the 'key lessons/notes' into a binding machine to keep for later reference...so eventually I will find out if the dot paper will work (?) when punched. - I'm not sure, but I thought I heard that the Dot Paper could be PRINTED from a printer ? - Regardless, I am looking forward to using this cool, new technology.

Hi T Guinn, I have the same issue as you and what i did was to paste the Livescribe sticky notes on my ppt printout. Another way is to indicate the slide no when writing notes on the Livescribe note pad.

No- you'd have to sort things in Evernote by folders and tags. But it does do OCR so your scans are searchable.

It transcribes EVERYTHING when you do the transfers. If you take some sort of notes, it will pull up what was SAID along with what you wrote to help you recall EVERYTHING. i used my pen for graduate classes and took limited notes, but could listen to whole lectures afterward. If i had a question about something i wrote, i simply touched the pen to the paper, and it brought what was said at that point.

Not sure about the livescribe. I bought the refills for my Cross Tech 3 . Works great there.

I have had the same problem. I now use "Smooth-writing Generic Refills for Livescribe Pens. Use this link: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDY7ARA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2H42Z1WF2H2XG)

No, at this time there is no way to restore. Track progress on this issue on www.livescribe.com/forums BUT you can archive sessions (audio and pen notes) to the PC or Mac desktop application that the pen synchs with.

4GB just means that you can go longer without having to download your notes because the pen can store more information. I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the 2GB model except for the memory. You won't have to buy a new one due to loss of memory with either model.

This stylus can be used for every form of input typically done by a finger on the touchscreen. It would work for texting, probably pretty well if you use Swype. Would be a matter of getting used to holding a pen to type...But I think it may be with a try! :)

Sorry, I mispoke previously, this DOES fit the Echo and SKy WiFi models (57mm length). I just tried it in both models to be sure. The Livescribe 3 is the one that uses a different size pen (68mm).

Yes, I use it regularly with Notability to take very technical (mathematical) notes. I've tried a number of the small nib styli and this is by far the best. Highly recommended.

The pen scanner does not store and transcribe multiple lines. It reads in only one line at a time and then immediately transcribes the text and places it into your document.

Hi there. As a livescribe user I haven't had this type of issue yet. So my response may be as helpful. However, being that both pen and notebook operates via a sensor-electronic platform, the voice recording itself might not be affected by the paper being folded or what not, I could only guess that the impact would be on the strike recognition (when you write). The paper is formatted in a way that upon contact with the tip of the pen, the camera inside is activated, and every strike is recorded accordingly. Now if the paper is damaged somewhat, your written information may not translate properly hence not seeing your notes as they should when upload the recordings online. I wish I could be more helpful. Good luck with everything.

Yes, it comes with a converter and also a cartridge, you can use either. I have had this pen since Feb/Mar, 2013, and I wanted to use it immediately so I used the cartridge. That cartridge is still in the pen. I don't use the pen everyday, but at least once a week. It has not dried out and still writes like a dream. The gold nib just glides across the page. Great pen!
