[Athen] Live Scribe smart pen issues

[Wink Harner]

Robert et al,

There is an add-on program for handwriting recognition for the LS & Echo
pens that converts the handwritten notes transferred to a desktop or laptop
computer to text files. Or the handwritten notes can be transferred to a
computer and just saved as-is to pdfs in handwritten format.

Does that help?
