While there are some rough edges to be smoothed out, overall the Livescribe+ app is excellent. Receiving digitized ink from the pen is stable and reliable. The offline text to speech is also unique, even if the randomness of how Feeds are constructed ha...
Synchronizes written notes with audio recordings. Archives digital copies of your written notes. Much clearer pencasts (without pen-scratching sounds) than in prior iterations. Plenty of note-editing and sharing options.
Requires a companion iOS device to work. Lacks Android support. Buggy audio recording synchronization. Requires special notebook paper
The Livescribe 3 brings digitized note-taking to your iPhone or iPad, while preserving the company's useful synchronized audio recordings, but it's not as easy to use or as reliable as prior iterations....

Digital notes from paper, feels like a pen, writes like a pen, crossplatform, syncs audio to written notes, works without being attached to a phone, many sources of compatible paper, handwriting recognition
Android app not very developed, expensive, requires special paper, first pen failed
The Livescribe Smartpen 3 isn't perfect. Having to have a smartphone with you to record Pencasts isn't as good as recording on the device itself, particularly if you're in a rush. The Android app isn't ready for primetime yet and the fact that the first v...

Abstract: Capturing notes in a client meeting or design talk can sometimes be a daunting task. And, if you're like me, the race to capture the spoken word and put it on paper can sometimes keep you from listening to what's being said next, leaving your notes with G...
As someone who takes a lot of notes, I found the Livescribe Smartpen 3 to be a really useful tool that saved me a lot of time, and effort! I really liked the ability to be able to record audio as well and include that within my notes, again saving me a lo...
Is the Livescribe 3 Smartpen worth the cost of entry over a cheap notebook and pen combo? That depends entirely on what you're planning on doing with it. It's much easier than writing notes and drawing on a screen with a mouse, still less painful than wr...
Reliable, turns handwriting to text accurately, app and pen work almost flawlessly, natural feel
No support for Android, needs special paper for writing on, plastic construction can feel cheap
The Livescribe 3 Smartpen one of the most useful accessories for iOS owners who use their device for note taking, provided you are running the latest version of the platform....
