Quotables

"The use of the smartpen does help students relax more because they realize when they go back over class notes, that they are capturing the keypoints of the lecture, and they're really not missing anything." – Randy J., UCB-DSP Associate Director
"It is difficult to catch it all while you are writing notes, and trying to pay attention at the same time. Livescribe saved my butt when it came to missing important points!" – Jennifer W., Student
"I have ADHD and Livescribe pens have helped me to stay organized and keep track of notes and invaluable details from class. I have recommended Livescribe to several students." – Samuel P., Student

"They don't have to wait until the next class to ask questions and get the help they need." – Marjorie H., Math Professor
"I don't have to recommend it. My friends see what it does and they love it. We've used it to share notes on Facebook when people missed class…and they were amazed at what it could do!" – Tara W., Student
"Because I am a person with a disability and fall under the Americans with Disabilities Act I didn't know about the smartpen until my Doctor prescribed one for me for Class purposes. It has helped me greatly improve my grades. By being able to tape notes and then slow down the Instructor's voice in places that they talk fast. It goes at my pace. I just received my grade for a Microsoft Excel Course that I struggled with all semester… the Grade 85%! Thanks, Livescribe I never missed a word! LOL" – Linda B., Student
