Great thing! I work as a therapist and finished during meetings often individual charts, which I mitgebe the patient. Drawback so far: For me, no copy remains. Those days are over now! It is like magic: The patient gets his paper (must however be Livescribe paper) and at home I find the writing one to one mapped to my iPad again! Here I can then send it as a PDF to Dropbox, save, open on the computer and print out (goes to print directly even if you have AirPrint, just open the document in a series of apps like iBooks, MyOffice, upad, and copy and mail the File). In addition, you can Written in the Livescribe + app (there is automatically saved everything) to convert to typed text. Handwriting recognition really good work for me (despite uneven cursive). In the app you can also edit them in peace. But beware, editing goes after release in other programs there will no longer (eg copy in the whole pages is displayed there as an image, so no change is possible). Would be nice if it there someday would be an improvement, thus passing on the file from the Livescribe + in editable form for further processing, for example in Pages or Word.
Well, the pen is also for seminar transcripts, this can be done by iPhone or iPad also the sound will be recorded. The pen fits comfortably in your hand and the detection works even when some crooked Transcripts (on your lap in the car).

That is, the pen drew on not only the movements on the sheet, but all movements whereby the writing to unusable mess was. I wanted to return the pin as already broken and pushed by accident here on Amazon at a review for Smartpen 2, which described the problem, pointing to the help page of Livescribe. There there is actually an explanation and list of aids. In my case I had to turn it 90 degrees (as had something jammed) the mine. Lo and behold, since everything runs smoothly. This tip should be kindly in the accompanying manual ...
