I am thinking about getting this pen but are you saying that two computers can’t be used? Like at my work computer and then at home and then on Girlfriend’s laptop too? What would happen if you set it up on a computer and then later had to buy a new computer?!

I understand you can export the files to a pdf file. But, I guess you would have to have separate audio file?!?!!!

PROBLEM PROBLEM PROBLEM. My spouse bought the pen for my daughter. Daughter then plugs pen into holder, holder via usb into MAC Book, she waits and gets a notification that the pen is registered to someone else. After multiple try s I enter the gam and slowly look for some reset process. There is none. After contacting customer service, we were told basically tough.

The pen was apparently restocked after being returned. Target, company we bought it from, is not supposed to restock returns. Therefore we must way two business days before they can register the pen and then only if it has not be reported stolen. No, we cannot speak with a supervisor and no the manager will not take our call or leave us an email to contact him.

And no, there is nothing to do but, wait or return it to Target for a replacement. HA HA. And by the way there is no policy to reset the pen when this type of problem occurs. Again, go to hell customer, we got your money. This is the worst customer service I have seen from an IT company in years if not ever.

thabks for posting this, i’d like to know if after writing in the special notebook of the pen if this one fills up can we erase the notebook to have more space? or do we need to buy another one?

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?
