    I use a livescribe, pencast functionality, and an application called Scrivener to take meeting minutes. I take notes with my iPhone recording audio. Later, I create a Scrivener file to transcribe the notes. Scrivener allows me to open a workspace for every topic in the meeting. Then I can put items into the appropriate workspace. Even if someone goes back to a prior topic, it's no problem to put that discussion into the workspace containing the topic that was previously covered. When I get through the whole pencast, I can output the Scrivener bits as one file, and I can copy that and paste it into Word. Even when people talk over each other and skip around the topics, my minutes make our meetings appear tightly structured.

    As a college student who uses Live Scribe, I find that it is an essential tool to my education because I am able to re-listen to lectures and catch anything important that I might have missed. I'm currently using the Live Scribe Echo which has been fantastic, however since the microphone is built into the pen the audio is sometimes distorted due to the pens contact with paper. I just ordered the Aegir after watching this review and can't wait for the quality in the audio to skyrocket because my phone has a better microphone and will experience less interference when writing!
    Great video man,
    Thank you so much!

    This is very cool, I used Livescribe back in the day when the pens were a lot bigger. The one thing that always got me, aside from the pen size, was having to use their paper...I understand the technology and the need for it but it always bugged me. That being said I agree with you, this would be a must buy (I’m old school and new school lol) IF they had a more classic color that would fit into my Buisness life. The flasher colors aren’t for me but great review my man and I really love how far this product has come.

    Hey Omar, I'm wondering if this pen can sync to your app without the phone being close or the app open? I'm wanting to use it on our fridge, to write a shopping list. We're always forgetting to take a picture of the list or bring the list with us. When we go to the shops, we'd like to be able to open up the app and see the list, without any thought of "is it synced" or having to pair the app to the pen to make sure its synced etc. Would this work?

      I need clarification on what you mean by "will it transfer to notes". The recording will appear in the feed section of the notes, so they will appear there. But I think you're asking something else.

    If I have to use the pen only to take notes and then get that automatically transferred to onenote then do I have to keep the app running in the background?
    Features like the app detecting the page numbers, are those available when you're syncing up the offline data? E.g. you go back n forth thru different pages and write something in offline mode. When you sync the data to app (or onenote) does it go to appropriate pages?
    Does the app slow down the phone?

    4:21 Wow, they made the pen tip jiggle worse than their Smartpen 3's, which also made the tick,tick,tick noise as the pen tip lifted and dropped to the paper. 5:35 have you actually tested this 10 hour claim? Real world time is shorter from other reviews I have seen when using the recorder function (bluetooth). 6:59 Livescribe is no longer making the "3" pen, sadly. 7:41 Ugghhh! Another cap that will fall off and get lost. Our students have lost so many of the "3" pen rubber plugs. Disappointed cap is so loose with no snap ridge like almost all other pens out there. 12:00 Pencast is the primary use our students do with a smartpen, recording class audio. 15:17 Now if Livescribe can actually make the audio easily exportable into mp3 format instead of cat faces (lol), and then FINALLY have a desktop app (MacOS/Windows), which is far overdue since the Echo pens. We wonder who Livescribe actually uses for user feedback with new technology? It's not Disability Services at Universities... Thanks for the review!
