Description: While you’re writing, the Livescribe Smartpen is remembering–linking everything you hear to everything you write. Later, simply tap on your notes to replay the recording. You can then upload your notes and audio to your computer, share it, search it and more. Now you can find and get what you need, instantly, with a tap.

Ministry Applications:

• Recruit a great note taker to take notes of Bible Studies or sermons while recording them on their pen. Then publish them by linking to the online audio and notes. Your audience can then click anywhere in the notes and begin playback at the time the note was taken.
• Use this pen to record leadership meetings, committee meetings, etc and then share out the notes and action items to each of the attendees and absentees.
• As a pastor, I use this pen frequently for internal staff meetings and project meetings. It helps me capture decisions made, details that are often missed, and summarize next steps for everyone involved.
