“One that I have spent some time with firsthand is LiveScribe's Pulse digital pen. The big thing this start-up adds to the mix is the combination of audio and ink. That makes it particularly handy for note taking.”
ABC 7 Morning News (San Francisco, CA)
September 3, 2008 – KGO (ABC)
“A high-tech way for students to take notes, the Pulse Smart pen records lectures while you take notes and you tap on the notes with your pen and the lecture for that portion of the notes are replayed. We hear why it is one of the top back to school picks this year. ‘The lecture is such a difficult thing to absorb and capture at the same time this lets you perhaps pay more attention to what is being said while your hand is taking notes and absorb more than slavishly noting.’”
