LONDON, May 23, 2011 -
Livescribe Inc. (www.livescribe.com) today announces Livescribe
Connect, a breakthrough software solution for the Echo(TM) and Pulse(TM)
smartpens. Livescribe Connect makes it simple for users to send their
handwritten notes and recorded audio, as an interactive pencast, to the
people and online applications of their choice - all from paper. Livescribe
also announced the expansion of its smartpen product family with the
introduction of the affordable 2GB Echo smartpen starter pack for GBP99.99.
Livescribe smartpens digitally capture everything people hear and write.
To play back important information, a customer simply taps anywhere on
handwritten notes in a Livescribe notebook, on a computer, or a mobile
device. With the introduction of Livescribe Connect, consumers can quickly
send pencasts from paper to applications, such as email, Google Docs,
Facebook, Evernote or even their mobile devices, including the Apple(R)
iPad(R) and iPhone(R).
Livescribe Connect not only makes it simple to share handwritten notes
and recorded audio, as interactive pencasts, but also makes it possible for
anyone to interact with the information as a Pencast PDF. The Pencast PDF
leverages Adobe's ubiquitous, business-standard PDF format - now anyone with
the free Adobe Reader(R) 10 or higher can easily hear, see and share an
interactive Pencast PDF.
To use Livescribe Connect, users simply draw a line and write the name of
the desired destination, for instance "Evernote" or "Facebook," then tap the
pages or circles sections of a page to send. The next time the smartpen is
docked to a computer, the notes and audio are automatically sent as a
pencast.
People can also use Livescribe Connect within Livescribe's free desktop
software - simply drag and drop pages of notes to Connector icons to quickly
send or share them.
Livescribe supports the following connectors:
- Email Connector: Handwritten notes and audio recordings are emailed
using Microsoft(R) Exchange, Gmail(TM), Hotmail(R), Yahoo!(R) Mail Plus and
AOL.
- Google Docs Connector: Just by drawing a line and writing "Google Docs"
on paper, anyone working on a collaborative project can quickly share a
pencast
- Facebook Connector: Now the 500 million people using Facebook have a
new way to share their latest thoughts -as interactive written and spoken
status updates.
- Evernote Connector: Send pencasts to Evernote to play back, store and
search the information along with other important digital files.
- Mobile/iPad Connector: Send pencasts right from paper to mobile
devices, including the Apple iPad and iPhone. Play back important information
on-the-go with the tap of a finger.
- MyLivescribe Connector: All registered customers receive 500MB of free
online storage for their pencasts. With the MyLivescribe connector, customers
can easily upload and store pencasts for convenient access from mobile
devices.
- Computer Connector: An easy way to save and organize Pencast PDFs and
other supported formats right on a computer - even designate the specific
folder or shared server location where pencasts should be sent.
