Tips and Tricks: Sharing Your Notes and Audio Online

Friday, July 24th, 2009

Looking to share your notes and audio with friends, classmates or colleagues? Whether you’re a Mac or PC user, sharing your notes is easy through the Livescribe Online community.

Sharing Private Files

By default, when you upload your notes and recordings to Livescribe Online, they are marked as private files that only you can see online.

To let your friends see your notes, simply add their e-mail addresses to your Access List. Once they create a Livescribe Online account (with the e-mail address you added to your Access List) and log in, they can play your interactive pencasts online or download your notes as a PDF file.

Sharing Public Files

If you make your pencast public, you can link to the file or share it on Facebook by posting it to your profile’s newsfeed. You can even send it as a Facebook message! Anyone who has your file link can watch your pencast or download your notes into a PDF file.

If you want to promote your notes or pencasts publicly, you can share it on the Livescribe Community page and select what category you want it to appear in.

    Tips and Tricks: Capture Writing Without Audio

    Monday, June 1st, 2009

    If you want to just take notes without recording audio, power on your Pulse smartpen and start taking notes on Livescribe dot paper. It will automatically capture everything you write or draw.

    If you want to record audio, just tap on the record button and your smartpen will automatically start linking the audio to your notes.

    When you dock your Pulse smartpen to your computer, your notes and drawings will appear as black ink (versus green ink, which means there is audio linked to your notes) on Livescribe Desktop. From there, you can easily export your notes as a PDF file and email them to your friends or colleagues.

    Tips and Tricks: Quick Calc

    Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

    If you need to solve a basic match calculation, you can use the Quick Calc on your Pulse smartpen. Quick Calc  allows you to write out a basic math calculation and get the answer on your smartpen display.

    For the entire list of Quick Commands, go to page 42 in your Pulse smartpen user manual.

    Here’s how to use Quick Calc:

    Step 1:
    Double-tap the center of a Nav Plus (you can also draw one).

    Step 2:
    Within 5 seconds, write the letter “c” on Livescribe dot paper. (You can also write out “calc.”)

    Step 3:
    Write a basic math problem. To solve, write the equal sign.

    Step 4:
    Your Pulse smartpen will display the answer. To solve another math problem, just tap on the letter “c.”

    Tips and Tricks: Uploading to the Livescribe Community

    Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

    Welcome to the first in a series of posts designed to help you get the most of your Pulse smartpen! These walkthroughs will guide you through features you may not have discovered yet, or reveal a handy trick you didn’t even know your smartpen could do!

    This month it’s back to basics as we show you how easy it is to upload your notes and drawings to the Livescribe Community from Livescribe Desktop from Windows. If you have any tips and tricks to share or suggest, please email Karen at klee @ livescribe.com. Enjoy!

    Uploading to the Livescribe Community
    Once you transfer all your notes and recordings from your Pulse smartpen to Livescribe Desktop, you have the option to upload either sessions (notes and recordings) or pages (just notes) to the Livescribe Community.

    Step 1:
    Once you’ve launched Livescribe Desktop, go to “Page Viewer” mode (near the top left of the Livescribe Desktop window). Double-click on a page of your notes. Click on your notes to see your notes animate and hear the recorded audio.

    Step 2:
    To share these notes, locate the two “Upload” buttons (near the top left of the Livescribe Desktop window). Click “Upload Sessions” to upload both notes and audio or click “Upload Pages” to upload just the written notes. (Note: If you haven’t created a Livescribe Community account yet, you’ll be asked to do so.)

    Step 3:
    Click on “Livescribe Online” (located in the upper right corner) to view your uploaded files in your My Livescribe page. From there, you can manage and share your notes, drawings, and recordings as Flash movies or PDF files.
