The handwriting recognition is not as clean as wish to make a believe the tests. However, it is sufficient to good if you made an effort, but rather a subjective statement on my part that I do not want to generalize, but keep that in mind then you will not be disappointed.
The recording sound, is (without headphones), well let's say useful, which is of course again very subjective. I'm going but by the time actually were and compare it with the recording. In the audio recording still cheat a lot of noise so that you do not listen and would therefore not expect such as the scratching of the pen on the paper. In short all the high sounds are emphasized (rattling, coughing, etc.) and deep sounds like a male voice tend to be weaker, albeit still to understand. There's three ways. Either you have a professor who talks really loud, or you can sit at the front next to the best Prof or you kanns easily forgotten. For a hyperactive talkative neighbor destroys the whole recording. So if you write in the lecture with hardworking and just want to listen again what the Prof said at the point where one has spiritually adopted, then reaches the recording quality. Who but relaxed evening will listen again to a lecture, with a cup of milk encouragingly at hand and the cat lap is ill-advised. Either one is a short time after starting the audio recording of the cat with her even more sensitive ears scratched übelst because it considers you their wool to the leather or the milk is sour. But as everything is this assessment subjectively!
Now for the big hook at the whole thing, why I forgive only one point. My pen has the famous FSR problem. FSR stands for Force Sensing Resistor. I just recommend anyone interested to sneak to the home page of Livescribe and seek among the forums for topic 'Phantom Scribbles'. Back to the trouble. One should know that the pin using a sensor on the points on the sheet can accurately determine its position. Because are arranged on the very special way as the points, the pen identify unique x and y coordinates, and which side you in which notebook describes awesome! So if you write to the presses mine in the housing (of which you get nothing) and the pen knows that is currently being written and absorbs. He is not based on the written ink but solely on the movements makes the pin on the sheet. Now the sensor of the pressure does not evaluate properly. The mine appears to get stuck and the pin switches to continuous recording. This means that all movements of the pen makes be recorded and not only the actually written. Later, the computer is the digital sheet full of doodles and writing is useless to 100%. I have thus already lost a few pages, which is very annoying. However, I should mention that the actually written course is still available on the physical sheet, provided you have not tinkered paper airplane from, but in digital form just yet useless. This problem is currently written by particularly at 20%. I have the support of Livescribe effort and now wait and see.
Conclusion: The pen is highly recommended to the serious problem of reliability. If you rangeht realistic to the cause you will not be disappointed. After all, who will be informed in the Internet fast victim thick makeup Direction advertising propaganda. You have to adjust a little to the pin just now. So like an old car that you despite its many quirks'll be sure to love. Who but a device expected to work 100% and on which one can rely on, which I guess to wait until the issue was officially resolved. I attach great importance to reliability, I can not forgive only around a star. Who thinks I was too hard on my judgment should discreetly gaze on the price of the device. Who requires a lot of money from which one can also expect much. I sincerely hope that I have a faulty single piece and the pin from other customers will be better evaluated.
