How do you use your Livescribe device?

April 25, 2013 1:40 PM

I am curious how people who are not students use Livescribe pens at work.

If you use a Livescribe pen in your daily workflow, I would love to hear about it. Do you use it for meeting notes? Your task list? Brainstorming? Something else? Any details you are willing to share would be appreciated. Thank you.

My husband uses one to occasionally write lectures, along with spoken commentary, which he then posts to the web for his students to supplement the in-class lecture. He's a mathematician.

My boss actually uses one of these, and he seems to write just about everything with it. Meeting notes, notes to himself, outlines of reports, etc.

Once he lent it to me so I could take notes on a 6-hour meeting. I must have been holding it wrong because every third letter was totally incorrect. It was awful.

I had one several years ago and used it occasionally for meeting notes at my (corporate consulting) internship. I found it totally unhelpful; however, this was a while ago and a first or second generation device, so things may have changed.

Clarification: I had it for school, and also used it at the internship. It was more helpful for school, but not by much.

It was great for me at school, can't use it at all at work now due to security/rules/whatever.
