CBS 19 Charlottesville Talks About Pulse’s UVA Efficacy Studies

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We posted a blog entry this January on the University of Virginia’s efficacy studies using the Pulse smartpen. Tiffani Sargent, a reporter from CBS 19 in Charlottesville, discusses with Stephanie Moore how the smartpen works and how UVa is working with Livescribe to develop advanced features and uses for the smartpen for both professors and students.

Some examples include:
• Students can submit their homework digitally using their smartpen.
• Professors can grade papers and provide audio feedback to students using the smartpen.

Check out the video on the Charlottesville Newsplex site.

What kind of ways do you think students and professors can use the smartpen? Share your ideas on the Livescribe Facebook Fan page!

Happy Holidays from Livescribe: Our Facebook Winners Share Their Naughty and Nice Stories

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Congratulations again to our recent Facebook sweepstakes winners. Some of you have been asking whether they’ve been naughty or nice, so we asked them to share their story and tell us what they were planning to do with their shiny, new 4GB Pulse smartpen for the holidays! Check out what they told us!

Our first winner, Darlene, from Corning, New York, was very nice this year:

Even though this has been an extremely hard year economically for me I have kept a positive attitude and tried to help others who have dealt with losing their jobs. If we all support one another I feel we will be encouraged to move forward with a brighter outlook towards the future.

This is what she’s planning to do with her Pulse:

I plan to give the Pulse smartpen as a gift to my significant other who is a teacher. He teaches children in group homes ordered by the courts. His days are very long and he deals with several different people on a daily basis. This Pulse smartpen will come in extremely handy while recording his daily events.

On the other hand, Caitlin from Hopewell Junction, New York was naughty this year:

Naughty, because this year I spoiled myself and followed my heart. That may not be naughty to other people but for me I hardly ever do things just because I want to.

This is what she’s planning to do with her Pulse:

I haven’t decided yet if I will be naughty and keep it, or be nice and give it to my boyfriend. If I do the latter, which I probably will, I will still be able to use it, so I get the best of both worlds – being generous but still being able to benefit from this generous gift. The Pulse smartpen will help me in school so that I can study more efficiently.

And last but not least, Candy from Newland, North Carolina was nice this year:

I was nice this year, as I have been doing a lot of care giving for my sick parents this year.

This is what she’s planning to do with her Pulse:

I am now going to be naughty and keep the smartpen for myself! I think it will help me with work because I have to attend a lot of meetings, and my mind tends to wander at these things. I think the smartpen will help me capture things I might ordinarily miss.

Happy Holidays from Livescribe!

Congratulations to our Facebook Sweepstakes Winners!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Over the last month we asked our Facebook fans if they have been naughty or nice for a chance to win a 4GB Pulse smartpen in time for the holidays. Want to guess how many were naughty or nice?

79% of our fans said they have been nice and 21% have been naughty this year.

Congratulations to our lucky winners:

Darlene W. from Corning, New York
Candy Y., from Newland, North Carolina
Caitlin S. from Hopewell Junction, New York

Happy holidays from the Livescribe team!
