Livescribe Pulse Smartpen
BAC Medical Marketing is proud to be able to promote, to the medical community, the Livescribe low-cost mobile computing platform which includes the award-winning Pulse smartpen, dot paper, smartpen applications, desktop software, online community and development tools.
The History Of Pen and Paper
From prehistoric cave walls and charcoal to the modern notebook and fountain pen, the human need for spontaneous self-expression through drawing and writing has endured.
However, paper and pen usage presents serious limitations in an increasingly digital world. Paper documents are static and difficult to share broadly. Written notes are susceptible to loss and damage. They suffer an inherent lack of connectivity; despite how rich the content on a piece of paper is, it is physically bound and limited. What’s missing is a way to maximize the freedom of expression and rich context afforded by pen and paper while delivering the connectivity, archiving system and “capture” capability of a computer.
About Livescribe
Livescribe is fundamentally changing the way people capture, access and share information with pen and paper. Founded in 2007, Livescribe has developed a breakthrough low-cost mobile computing platform which includes the award-winning Pulse smartpen, dot paper, smartpen applications, Livescribe Desktop software, Livescribe Online Community, and development tools.

The Livescribe Platform
Livescribe is fundamentally changing the way people capture, access and share information with pen and paper. Livescribe has developed a breakthrough low-cost mobile computing platform, which includes the award-winning Pulse smartpen, dot paper, smartpen applications, Livescribe Desktop software, Livescribe Online Community, and development tools.
Pulse Smartpen
The Pulse smartpen is a computer in a pen that records everything you hear and write, and synchronizes the audio to what you write, so you never miss a word. Just tap on your notes and the smartpen will play back what you recorded from that exact moment in time. The Pulse smartpen comes in two versions; 2 GB of memory that can hold over 200 hours, and the 1 GB that can hold over 100 hours. Actual recording time varies by audio quality setting.
Livescribe Dot Paper
Livescribe dot paper is regular paper printed with a unique pattern of tiny micro-dots. Livescribe’s unique patented dot-positioning system enables the Pulse smartpen to precisely track everything it writes on paper. Livescribe offers a variety of dot paper products, including college-sized notebooks, journals, and note pads. Customers can also print their own dot paper using certified laser-jet printers.
Livescribe Desktop
Livescribe Desktop allows you to digitally transfer your notes and recordings from your Pulse smartpen to your PC or Mac. See your notes animate or play your recordings. Play your notes and recordings, organize them, and search for words within your handwritten notes to find what you need.
Livescribe Community
Upload your pencasts online with the Livescribe Community for everyone to see, hear, and play. Share your notes, drawings, and recordings online as Flash movies or PDF files.
Smartpen Applications & Development Tools
Livescribe has developed an open paper-based computing platform, enabling developers to create applications for the Pulse smartpen. The possibilities for applications are endless – with tools and games that enhance personal productivity, learning, communications, and entertainment.
Livescribe is developing a full Java-based development environment for professional developers to write their own smartpen application code using the Livescribe APIs, which will be available in Q2 2009. The SDK includes an Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE) with custom plug-ins, a suite of APIs, sample code and documentation.
