smart pulse pen

The Pulse smartpen from Livescribe is a computer within a pen that captures handwriting and
simultaneously records audio and synchronizes it to the writing. Users can simply tap on their notes to
replay what was recorded from the exact moment they were writing, so they never miss a word they hear,
write, or speak. Further, the smartpen is a general purpose computer with rich I/O capabilities and a Java
development environment that enables a wide range of applications.

"Pulse is a new type of mobile computer that supports the four basic modes of human communication -
reading, writing, speaking and listening" said Jim Marggraff. "Using an embedded speaker and display
for audio/visual input, and microphones and a pen for audio/visual output, Pulse advances the power and
flexibility of mobile computing - it's the missing link that now connects the paper and digital worlds."
