This is by far the most frequent asked question in the blog. The short answer is YES, you can do that. But NO, not all the smartpens reviewed here do that.
So, what’s the smartpen that can convert your written notes to text which you can edit on Word, or send by email? The Livescribe Pulse Echo Smartpen.
But please note that this smartpen can’t do it by itself, it needs a special software called MyScript. It’s not free (costs $29.95) but works perfectly and is a good investment if you need your notes translated to digital text.

Can you tell me why the Livescribe is better (if it is) than either the LogiPen or the IRISNotes Executive Pen? The Livescribe requires special paper and MyScript to convert to Word, while my understanding is that neither of the other two products require extra software or a special note pad…Thanks
