<div dir="ltr"><div>Thank you one and all! I really appreciate the info. Didn't know that VoiceOver in iOS 7 has handwriting recognition. We'd thought about the Livescribe 3. Since she doesn't need to record, it seems wiser to look for an alternative vs paying so much for the pen. </div>
<div><br></div>Hi Nettie, This person can write, but she's looking for a way to write her information and then have it automatically changed to a typed text that can be manipulated (re-arranged).<div><br></div><div>

<div><br></div>That said, we have not had the best success with the SmartPen 3 in an academic setting. The audio recording functionality is the mobile device itself (iPhone, iPad, etc.), so the capability is dependent on that device. Additionally, we had situations where the pen and mobile device became disconnected (i.e., no longer sync'ed) in the middle of a recording session resulting in a loss of notes. It was not clear if the app crashed or if it was between the pen and the device. Finally, the pen and device stopped functioning completely and we had to return the pen. It would not be a pleasant experience for a student.<div>
<br></div><div>There is a new Livescribe+ app update now available, but we went back to the Echo pens. Fewer things to go wrong in the middle of a lecture.</div><div><br></div><div>Here are a few options to consider:</div>

</div><div>Penultimate is a REALLY nice app, but it does require Evernote sync'ing to get the handwriting recognition. I am not sure how well it would work for an iPhone. It works well for the iPad as there is a larger screen for writing.</div>
