Livescribe, Inc. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Jim Marggraff will unveil a new category of consumer electronics with the introduction of Pulse™, the world's first smartpen.
The Pulse smartpen from Livescribe is a computer within a pen that captures handwriting and simultaneously records audio and synchronizes it to the writing. Users can simply tap on their notes to replay what was recorded from the exact moment they were writing, so they never miss a word they hear, write, or speak. Further, the smartpen is a general purpose computer with rich I/O capabilities and a Java development environment that enables a wide range of applications.
"Pulse is a new type of mobile computer that supports the four basic modes of human communication - reading, writing, speaking and listening" said Jim Marggraff. "Using an embedded speaker and display for audio/visual input, and microphones and a pen for audio/visual output, Pulse advances the power and flexibility of mobile computing - it's the missing link that now connects the paper and digital worlds."
