Smart Pens & More Note Taking Tools

For professors, staff, and students alike, taking notes and sitting through meetings is a regular part of the day. Having the ability to record those notes and be able to play them back could be very beneficial to all of those in academia. Maybe you write too slow and didn’t catch all of what was said, or maybe you just learn better when you can hear the information repeated.

Whatever it is, there are several products on the market that make this possible. Each product has different capabilities and functionalities, depending on what best suits your needs.

One of those items is the LiveScribe Echo Smartpen. Equipped with a USB-connection for easy data transfer and charging, a microphone to capture audio, and up to 200 hours of audio storage, this may be a great option for members of academia.

I highly encourage you to take a look at some of the LiveScribe smartpens. Depending on what model you want, it could get a little pricey, but faculty and staff should explore the ability to purchase these through their department.
