LivePen fail

Worst Livescribe pen experience ever. Have been a client from inception. The lens with their own memory are gems and I still use them. The fail in this “LivePen” has been the need to be on the cloud. Huge lag and past a few pages intermittent processing Very unreliable. Also what a pain initially to even use with the sign on needing to sent a link. Ridiculous.

Hopeless

I’ve just bought the one and downloaded the software but it insists on ‘sending’ you an email that never arrives.

App crash

App was ok for a few weeks then it won't open! iPhone update and app update all current. App still will not open. So much for that ! Back to old school notebook!

Wird immer besser

Ich habe ein Paar Verbesserungsvorschläge eingereicht und es wurden zwei davon umgesetzt. Die Transkription funktioniert derzeit nur in englischer Sprache und nur bei kurzen Aufnahmen aber dafür sehr genau. Bin gespannt auf weitere Updates.

Good app

Once signed in and writing in the book, app is great. The transcript is near perfect, and is pretty quick at grasping what you are writing. Though I found signing in to your account and getting started was more difficult than most apps, and not entirely user friendly.
