1 Introducing the Livescribe™

Smartpen

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Livescribe™ smartpen. This topic introduces you to the Livescribe™ smartpen. To set up and begin using your smartpen, see

Livescribe™ Smartpen on page 16. To learn about what is new in this re lease, see New in this V ersion on page 4.

Getting to Know Your

Livescribe Smartpen

Livescribe is fundamentally changing the way people capture, access and share information with pen and paper. Livescribe has developed a breakthrough low-cost mobile computing platform, which includes the award-winning Livescribe smartpen, dot paper , smartpen applications, Livescri be Desktop software, Livescribe Online Community, and development tools.

The Livescribe™ smartpen is an advanced paper-based computer in the form of a pen that records

verything you hear and write. It synchronizes the audio your hear to what you write, so you neve r

e miss a word. Just tap on your notes and the smartpen will play back what you recorded from that exact moment in time.

Livescribe™ Smartpen User Guide 1

Livescribe™ Dot Paper

The smartpen provides both audio and visual feedback, powerful processing capabilities, and substantial built-in storage. The smartpen integrates several components and technologies. It also uses firmware and application software to support the interaction of all of its components and to enable built-in handwriting recognition, and applications such as Paper Replay™, among many others.

When you power on your Livescribe smartpen and smartpen captures and stores the notes you write. To capture your writing, the smartpen uses its builtin infrared camera to take digital snap sh ot s of a special do t p atter n on the p ap er as the tip move s over the paper while you write. See

When recording audio in a Paper Replay™ session, the smartpen links the recorded audio to your

tes based on the dot pattern on the page. With this information, the smartpen can play back the

no audio that was recorded at the exact time you were writing your notes. Specifically, when you tap on your notes with the smartpen, it locates the position where you are tapping and starts to play back the audio at the position linked to that paper location.

Livescribe™ Dot Paper

To perform its many operations, your Livescribe smartpen requires Livescribe™ dot paper. This paper is standard paper with printed microd ots on its surface. These dots are nearly invisible to the human eye. However, the smartpen can easily see these dots and uses them to know which page you are writing on and the exact location on that page. The smartpen can even see these dots through the ink you write on your pages.

The microdot pattern on each page is based o n technolog small dots (100 micrometers in diameter) arranged with a spacing of approximately 0.3 mm. The dot pattern overlays an imaginary square grid. The dots are slightly displaced from the grid, with each dot in one of four possible positions, forming the proprietary Anoto dot pattern.

ink using those locations. Using this patented dot-positioning system (DPS), the smartpen precisely tracks its own movement on paper. As a result, anything you write – words, numbers or drawings – can be stored, recognized, and intelligently responded to by the smartpen.

Improvements and Corrected Issues

Smartpen performance has been optimized is several ways. Also, several existing features of the smartpen software have been refined to increase intuitiveness and flexibility.

Performance Improvement

• Faster booting: When powering on, the smartpen loads its software more quickly and is ready to

use in less time.

• Faster transfer speed: Data transfer to and from the smartpen occurs at a faster rate.

• Faster file access in Echo: The Echo smartpen reads data from and writes data to its file system

more efficiently, improving responsiveness in the loading and operation of smartpen applications.

Left-Tap: Exit the Way You Came In

Left-tap is the way to the exit on the smartpen. You can tap left on the directional erro r of a Nav Plus to exit a smartpen application or a Quick Command. You can also exit by left-tapping around any Launch Lines you drew. See

Launch Line and Tap Around on page 67.

In this version of the smartpen software, the re sults of lef t-tapp ing in any situation were stan dardized to be intuitive and helpful. If you are curious, the rule is: You exit the way you came in. This means that left-tapping leads you back toward your starting place:

• If you started by tapping Nav Plus and navigating the Main Menu, then left-tap leads you back to

the Main Menu.

• If you started by drawing a Launch Line or Quick Command on Open Paper, then we assume you

do not care about the Main Menu right now: the current time is displayed instead.

• In either case, you end up in the same state: no app lication is run ning and th e smartpen is r eady to

store the next thing you write on Open Paper.

NOTE: Left-tapping from the submenu of a smartpen application or Quick Command backtracks up the

menu hierarchy toward the root level. Left-tappin g from the root level jump s to Main Menu or the current time display, as described above.

OTE: The root level of a launched application is the initial menu displayed when you launch the

application. The root level of a running Quick Comma nd is the list dis playe d wh en you exec ut e the Quick Command. In the case of Paper Replay when launched explicitly, the root level is the initial menu containing items such as Record New Session, Play Session, etc. The root level of the play Quick Command is the”Play Session” list of Paper Replay.

Using a 3-D Recording Headset

With your Livescribe smartpen, you can record audio with either the built-in micr ophone or a 3-D Recording Headset. Livescribe designed the built-in microphone for monaural recordings in smaller recording environments, such as a conference room. When recording in larger spaces, we recommend using a 3-D Recording Headset, which contains a microphone in each earbud. The dual microphones enable binaural recordings, which accurately recreate the spatial audio environment.

Setting/Viewing Audio (Recording) Quality

Use the Audio (Recording) quality setting to change the compression rate of the recorded AAC audio: the higher the audio quality, the lower the compression rate. As a result, files recorded with the highest audio quality setting will be larger files that require more storage space.

• Use High to record at the highest audio quality. This setting will require the largest amount of

storage space and is optimal for very large environments or when the highest quality recording is required.

• Use Medium to return to the default recommended audio quality setting.

• Use Low to record at lowest audio quality. This is a memory-saving setting that will utilize the least

amount of memory and is optimal for dictations or smaller quieter recording environments.

OTE: You cannot change these settings during recording. Always select the appropriate audio quality

setting before beginning a recording.

Setting/Viewing Microphone Sensitivity

You can set your smartpen microphone sensitivity for different recording situations.

• Use Conference Room to set the microphone sensitivity for quieter environments where the person

speaking is closer to the microphone. This setting is optimal for dictations, offices, or small conference rooms.

• Use Lecture Hall to set the microphone to pick up sounds in a wider open area. This setting is

optimal for large rooms where the speaker’s voice is distant from your smartpen microphone. We also recommend the use of the 3-D Recording Headset when record ing in this type of environment.

• Use Automatic to let your smartpen automatically set your microphone se nsitivity based on the

noise level of your environment. This is the recommended default setting for the Livescribe smartpen.

Setting/Viewing Playback Latency

When you tap your notes to play back a Paper Replay™ session, the audio will play from a moment five seconds before the note was actually written. This allows you to more accu rately replay the moment because there is natural delay between the time when you hear an important point and the time when you begin writing.

Set the Playback Latency to Off to turn off this latency. You will want to do this if you are playing back a recording in which your audio and writing are perfectly synchronized.

Scrolling with Flick and Scrub

Lines do not intersect in the center of each line.

Scrolling with Flick and Scrub

Flick and Scrub is a way for you to quickly scroll through menu items and other displayed text on your smartpen. This feature is useful when text presented by an application is longer than the display can show horizontally or when multiple menus or options are available vertically.

Flicking

refers to quickly dragging your smartpen across paper and then lifting your smartpen off the paper. The contents of the display scrolls rapidly, based on the speed of your smartpen when it was lifted.

Scrubbing refers to dragging your smartpen acro ss the paper. The con te nts on the display moves and scrolls in the same direction and at the same relative speed as the movement of your smartpen.

Livescribe™ Smartpen User Guide 50

To use Flick and Scrub scrolling:

your smartpen down for one-half (1/2) second.

2. Wait until you hear a short beep, then without

lifting your smartpen tip off the paper, draw a

horizontal or vertical line. Your smartpen assigns the area you draw as a

lick and Scrub control area for any applica-

F tion.

TIP: Instead of drawing a line, you can draw a re ct-

angular box as the Flick and Scrub control area. You may find the box easier to use because it provides a wider area than a straight line.

6 Using the Paper Replay™

Application

With the Paper Replay™ application, your smartpen records audio and links it to wha t you write. Later, you can tap on any of your notes and hear the audio recorded from that moment.

Whenever you turn on the Livescribe sm artpen, it capt ures a digital copy of your notes, whether or not you also choose to record audio.

The Paper Replay™ control bar printed at the bottom of every n otebook page let s you beg in and end a recording as well as manipulate the playback of your recording.

NOTE: The Paper Replay™ printed controls are not page-specific. You can tap Record on one page,

begin recording, and then tap Stop on a different page and the Livescribe smartpen will stop recording.

About Paper Replay™ Sessions

When you begin recording with the Livescribe smartpen, your smartpen automatically links the audio to anything you write on Livescribe™ dot paper. The recorded audio (and any associated written notes) is called a Paper Replay™ session. A session begins when you start recording audio and ends when you stop recording audio. A paused recording is still one session. A session always contains audio and optionally can contain associated writte n not es (pages ).

A session can be any length of time and does not necessarily equal a single p age. Fo r example, if you start and stop recording multiple times per page, you will have multiple Paper Replay™ sessions on one page. Conversely, you may also have one Paper Replay™ session that spans multiple pages.

The Paper Replay™ playback controls such as jump, position bar, and bookmark, function within a single Paper Replay™ session. You can jump forward or back or speed listen to only one Paper Replay™ session at a time. If you created multiple Paper Replay™ sessions on one page, you will need to tap on the notes associated with the specific desired recording to begin pla yback. After st arting playback, you can then use the playback or bookmark controls to listen to that session.

Livescribe™ Smartpen User Guide 69

Recording Sessions

When you tap on the playback controls before tapping on any of the written notes on a page, your most recently accessed audio recording will play back regardless of whether that recording or

those notes are on the current page . This feature allows you to quickly replay you r last recording even if you have forgotten to write notes on paper.
