Dragon. We were skeptical at first but it ended up being a marvelous help and confidence booster for him. Even despite the fact his voice would change as he grew more tired the Dragon kept up with him and gave him the independence he wanted. He used it
to write his blogs. In fact the Dragon worked better than some scribes because they would have difficulty understanding him. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">A colleague and I played with the Livescribe 3 pen for a short time when it first was released a few months ago. Very cool potential and it had decent recognition for handwriting for the mobile device.<o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
