    Livescribe Smartpen

    This digital pen synchronises audio recording with hand written notes. Playback of an audio recording is as simple as pressing the pen on the handwritten text. Smartpens need to be used with Livescribe dot paper books. 

      Audionote

      Audionote is similar technology to the smartpen however notes are typed or written using finger strokes on a tablet or laptop.

        Livescribe Smartpen and Audionote do not require students to write a large amount of notes. A list of keywords or phrases as they are presented in class is all that is required. They can also be used to record group assignment meetings or one-to-one feedback from teachers. In some instances this technology offers an alternative to having a notetaker in class.
