Whereas the Echo records audio with its built-in microphone and stores both recorded audio and notes on the pen, both the Livescribe 3 and Aegir have no microphone — both must link via Bluetooth to a mobile device (iOS or Android) and use its mic to record audio.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Both the Livescribe 3 and Aegir also stream their captured notes in real time to the <i class=""><u class="">Livescribe+ app</u></i> on the linked mobile device; with the Echo, notes and audio are uploaded later to the <i class=""><u class="">Echo Desktop software</u></i> on either a Mac or Windows PC.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One place where the Aegir will surpass the Livescribe 3 is that Livescribe will soon release a desktop version of the Livescribe+ app. From Livescribe+, handwritten notes can be separated into “snippets” (individual notes) and even converted to e-text (assuming decent penmanship). Individual snippets or an entire page or notebook can be exported to OneNote, Evernote, or other apps.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Lastly, all three models still need the Livescribe microdot paper to work. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Here’s a comparison chart for all three smartpens:</div><div class=""><a href="https://livescribe.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1929-30015-smartpen-comparison-chart" class="">https://livescribe.helpscoutdocs.com/article/1929-30015-smartpen-comparison-chart</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Hope this helps,</div><div class=""> Shelley</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">
