To make it work, you need to either buy a recycled paper notepad from Livescribe, or roll your own by downloading a graphics file that prints on most laser printers. 3 It also records the sound around you and links it to what you were writing at the time. Tap the pen to that text again, it reads the little dots, and you get an audio playback from that time. As a journalist with lousy handwriting and no shorthand skills, I could use that. Just write an outline of what someone is saying in an interview, and tap on the notes to hear again what the person said. 4 That in itself would be very cool, but the Livescribe folks have bigger plans. Here are some other things the pen can do: 5 Create 3D audio files The Livescribe headphones include microphones, so you can record the sound exactly how and when it hits each of your ears. Play it back through any headphones, and you get the same effect as if you were hearing sounds around you. 6 Create flash animations Whatever you write or draw can be captured as a flash movie. Play it back and you see the drawings take form on your screen. Click on parts of the text in the animation and launch any linked items, such as web pages, audio files, or videos. 7 Access mentary in a book The pen works for reading as well as writing. As an example, Livescribe showed me a Bible, printed on the special paper, where you can tap on words to get footnotelike mentary or hear pronunciations of the bizarre Old Testament names. 8 Write an The pattern of dots on every sheet of paper is unique. So if you write on a specific piece of paper, the pen can use the dots not only to figure out what you wrote, but to figure out where you wrote it.
