![]() ![]() learning issues do not stop in puberty or adulthood as earlier concluded. Research shows the majority of ADD, ADHD, etc. I am concerned his doctor seems to have simply dismissed a life long problem. I have two (out of four) adult children with ADHD they have different forms and require (ed) different treatments. I found it to be extremely helpful when making my decision. If you’d like to see all of the Livescribe smart pen features compared, check out this chart. Make sure that the smart pen you pick has all of the features you need. It is for taking in data, recalling it, and reviewing it so that the information moves into long term memory.Įvery student is different, and what works best for us may not be best for you, so do your homework before purchasing. Sure, it would be nice to have the ability to type notes alongside the handwritten ones, but in general, this pen’s primary function isn’t going to be document creation. So, what do I wish was different with the Echo? Not much. We can store data directly on the pen, on the desktop, or export files to Evernote (again, I really do love Evernote) if we choose, and she can access that information with or without wifi service. ![]() ![]() My dyslexic can quickly and easily flip through her notes from months worth of classes in bed or while riding in the car with just the pen and paper. We bought the Echo with largest amount of storage, 8gb, and I’m very happy with that choice. Yes, it is technically older technology, but I’m happy with the decision, especially after seeing another student fumbling to fit a Livescribe, notebook, and iPad all on her desk. Again, there were multiple reports of problems with transferring files via wifi, and in general, reviewers claimed that this version was more “glitchy” than previous models. The Sky offered no desktop programs at all, and paying for premium Evernote service isn’t something in the budget right now. I thought at first that it would be an amazing match, however there were many disadvantages to hosting all of your notes exclusively in the cloud, not the least of which was inaccessibility when working away from wifi. Why we didn’t pick the Livescribe Skyįor this version, Livescribe partnered with Evernote, a program I love. This is the one feature that my dyslexic was most excited about, so the 3 was quickly ruled out. Most disappointingly, you can not replay information directly from the pen. Also, in reviews there were a lot of complaints about loosing audio files via the wireless sync. Sure most of us have these devices on us at all times, but juggling multiple devices on a desk-top can be rather cumbersome. The newest Livescribe pen doesn’t have a built in microphone to record sound – instead you need to link it to an iPad or iPhone. Rather than prattle on sharing the features of the pen, I’ll leave that to the many other tech-gurus out there, and focus instead on why we chose to purchase an older model pen rather than the newest Livescribe for my dyslexic daughter. The short version: We love our Livescribe! It is fantastic and works exactly as magically as I hoped making paper notes interactive, so that my daughter can touch any point on her paper and listen to exactly what her professor was saying at that moment.

I love that she called me on it! – I had every intention of posting this, yet it sat in my drafts folder for over a month. A very patient reader reminded me that I promised a review of the Livescribe e-pen in my Alternative Note Taking post a bit ago and failed to follow through. ![]()
