![]() ![]() I don't want to do the "read later and find out" sort of thing here, so I'll also say up front that these are very closely matched products. I will mention the Livescribe's offering a few times in this piece and take some time to do a more direct comparison, but at the outset I'll say this isn't going to be about the Neo vs. The first is the Livescribe 3, whose review you can see here. With that said, it does have a few drawbacks that you will want to think through before deciding to buy.This is the second smartpen I've reviewed for Android Police. I've been testing it out for a couple of weeks and, on the whole, I am really excited about it. In a market without a whole lot of competition, especially for those who support Android, Neo's N2 needs to be on your radar if you want a smartpen. He loves it.The Neo Smartpen N2 is the company's second shot at an intelligent analog writer and this one comes with very few compromises. Due to security issues, he's not allowed to use OneNote, but other services seem to be working for him. Ultimately, the comfort of my participants and the fact that I didn't find the subsequent recordings all that useful had me move back to a regular pen and paper.ĮDIT: My Livecribe was also a perfectly round "pen" and was therefore prone to rolling off the table which I found exceedingly annoying.ĪLSO: I have a co-worker who's been given an iPadPro and a Pencil by our company as a trial and he uses it extensively for note-taking. IANAL and YMMV.Ģ) That didn't prevent some people from being uncomfortable with the recording and impacting said meetings.ģ) My handwriting is *very* messy and any transcription program is less than optimal. There's a few issues with this.ġ) I live in a 1-party state and am therefore safe from issues with permission to record. In other words I would use the notes I took to take me to sections of the meetings I was recording with the pen. It's main use for me was as a note taking device to trigger sections of the voice recordings. I have a Livescribe (although I haven't used it in years). I also wonder if smartpens are the solution for what I want to do, but so far tablets don't give me the same feeling as writing on paper does, and the inspiration it brings. By itself it's not a problem, but it makes me wonder how good their products have remained in comparison to more recent products. These livescribe products, despite being described as very good by the press, are very old. I chose the pen+ ellypse over the pen+ writing set because apparently it can store data while not being connected to a device.Īpparently, this one is pretty poor at transcribing. No need for special notebooks is good but worrisome (is this going to be as good at detecting my handwriting on pages that sometimes don't stay straight but are a bit bended by the book' spine?). transcribed text is not sent to one note automatically, unfortunately.ĭidn't find specific data on how good the transcriptions are. ![]() So my main criteria for choice is the quality of the transcription from my handwriting to digital writing, and the ease of use in cooperation with a PC (preferably through OneNote).Ĭompatible with OneNote and Pc. Being able to store them under OneNote sections and pages and search for those. While I take notes, I also usually expand on ideas (more when I write by hand than when I write on the computer). So far, I've isolated 4 smart pen that have good results on different online reviews, but I can't get my head around which one to choose!Īs a PhD student, I need to read and take notes on a lot of articles. I am looking for the best solution to take notes and have those transcribed to digital writing on OneNote. ![]()
