Livescribe Smartpen
Never Miss a Word.
Overview
The Livescribe smartpen is a tool that captures handwritten notes and simultaneously records audio. By tapping on the notes with the pen, users can play back the audio that was recorded at that specific moment. This can be incredibly helpful for students with dyslexia who may struggle with note-taking, as it allows them to focus on listening during a lecture and then revisit their notes later to hear the corresponding audio.
