Livescribe Inc. is fundamentally changing the way people capture, access and share information with pen and paper. The company’s Montblanc-sized Pulse smartpen, a “computer in a pen,” has a tiny infrared camera to capture handwritten notes to ensure users never miss a word. The Pulse smartpen syncs everything you hear with your writing so you can find what was said, at any point, simply by tapping on your notes.
Those that have had a chance to see the Pulse smartpen in action have called it a “nifty tool,” a “lifesaver,” a “game-changer,” and everything in between. With over 100,000 Facebook fans, a healthy Twitter following and Pulse users all over the world, this start-up is revolutionizing the act of writing.
Livescribe recently upped the ante, launching a Beta Application Store to make the Pulse smartpen smarter than ever. Whether you’re an organic chemistry student, a sales professional or even studying for your Bar Mitzvah, there’s an application to suit your needs. And with the Pulse smartpen’s expanded memory, there’s plenty of room to store all of your applications.
