AE: You can keep everything on your PC; you don’t have to upload it at all – that is only an option.

Blaze: You cannot “directly” convert the data in LiveScribe to text, but you can still get there. The first step would be to export the pages you want as a PDF document. The next step would be to use one of the many freeware PDF to text converters (take a look at http://download.cnet.com/windows/ and do a search for “Simpo PDF to Text” – it isn’t bad for a freeware app).

Hope that helps.

Happy LiveScribing!

Hi!

I’m a budding writer and I’ve been thinking about this pen since I saw it, but I’m not sure.

Is there anyway to convert the hand-written notes into typed texts? I haven’t been able to find out if you can or not.

If there is anyway that you can let me know if this is/isn’t possible? It would be much appreciated.

A question – is it necessary to upload your pages to the web, or can you store them on your PC only. Do you lose any functionality if you don’t upload to the web?
