VentureBeat: LiveScribe lets the paper do the talking, and thinking

    Phenomenal! I once took a "forced march" in nuclear engineering...(no offense Naval Reactors and Bettis, but ouch!!)...and despite taking notes in four colors, couldn't make sense them a day later- What a difference LiveScribe would have made!!

    For pen-based technology like this to be a real success, it will have to work on any paper. The pen isn't truly portable because you have to lug around special paper with it. If it's not really portable, it offers little advantage over a laptop comptuter.

    While I agree that carrying the paper around lessens the advantages, for a journalist, who is alway already carrying around paper, a digital record and a camera (with a laptop waiting in the car), this device is a dream come true. Being able to sync the notes with the voices and what is being said is phenomenal. I can't wait to get mine. It is going to be a holiday gift to myself.

    Please tell me it's going to be Mac compatible?!?
    Although a Mac version wouldn't use special paper with Apple engineering.

    It's great to see this great technology getting the software and vision it needs to succeed in the consumer space. Although you can do some great things with consumer notetaking products like Oxford's Easybook, Jim is taking it to a different level. My firm has been deploying Anoto digital pen technology in Healthcare for the past two years, and we're looking forward to having these new integrated audio capabilities to build on.

    The possibility that taking notes in my German classes/sessions and then being able to play back what my teacher or tutor was saying is pretty cool. I could work on my own accent by hearing the German words repeated. With a tutor I'm speaking at the same time so it would be really cool for getting difficulty words down (like worden, werden, worden and würden) and hearing how I say it and my teacher says it.

    One use I haven't seen mentioned is for reporters, who could focus on the interview, just jot down what subject was being addressed, and get the "exact quote" later.
