Livescribe Mobile Computing Platform
Livescribe has developed a new paper-based computing platform that bridges the gap between the paper and digital worlds. The platform enables a broad range of new applications in personal productivity, learning, communication, and self expression.
The Livescribe platform includes:
• Pulse™ Smartpen: a Montblanc-size computer with advanced processing power, audio/visual feedback, and substantial memory for handwriting capture, audio recording, and applications
• Livescribe™ Dot Paper: technology that enables interactive, “live” documents using plain paper printed with micro-dots
• Software Applications and Tools: a breadth of solutions that leverage audio/ink capture, handwriting recognition, and Internet connectivity to enhance personal productivity, learning, communication and self expression
• Development Tools: easy-to-use tools for consumers and developers to create, publish, and share or sell new applications and content online
Pulse Smartpen
The Livescribe Pulse smartpen is an advanced paper-based computer, providing both audio and visual feedback, powerful processing capabilities, and substantial built-in storage. The Pulse smartpen integrates several components and technologies. It also uses firmware and application software to support the interaction of all of its components and to enable built-in handwriting recognition, and applications such as
Paper Replay, among many others.

Livescribe Dot Paper
To perform its many operations, the Pulse smartpen requires Livescribe dot paper.
This paper is standard paper with printed microdots on its surface. These dots are nearly invisible to the human eye. However, the Pulse smartpen can easily see these dots and uses them to know which page you are writing on and the exact location on that page. The Pulse smartpen can even see these dots through the ink you write on your pages.
The microdots are printed on each page in a special pattern based on technology from Anoto AB. This dot pattern consists of small dots (100 micrometers in diameter) arranged with a spacing of approximately 0.3 mm. The dot pattern overlays an imaginary square grid. The dots are slightly displaced from the grid, with each dot in one of four possible positions, forming the proprietary Anoto dot pattern.
Page 8 Livescribe Desktop User Manual
The dot pattern identifies the specific page and locations on the page of the notes you write. The Pulse smartpen uses the dot pattern in a way similar to a geographical positioning system (GPS). But, instead of identifying locations on land, it finds locations on paper and stores your writing as digital ink using those locations.
Using this patented dot-positioning system (DPS), the Pulse smartpen precisely tracks its own movement on paper. As a result, anything you write – words, numbers or drawings – can be stored, recognized, and intelligently responded to.
The area of the entire Anoto dot pattern is huge, and represents a piece of paper the combined size of Europe and Asia. Livescribe dot paper is based on a subset of the entire Anoto dot pattern.
How the Pulse Smartpen Works
When you power on the Pulse smartpen and begin writing on Livescribe paper, the
Pulse smartpen captures and stores the notes you write. To capture your writing, the
Pulse smartpen uses its built-in infrared camera to take digital snapshots of the dot pattern as the tip moves over the paper as you write.
When recording audio in Paper Replay, the Pulse smartpen links the recorded audio to your notes based on the dot pattern on the page. With this information, the Pulse smartpen can play back the audio that was recorded at the exact time you were writing your notes. Specifically, when you tap on your notes with the Pulse smartpen, it locates the position where you are tapping and starts to play back the audio at the position linked to that paper location.

Paper Replay in Livescribe Desktop
Paper Replay is a Pulse smartpen application that allows you to write notes in your notebook and record audio at the same time. As you write, your Pulse smartpen indexes (or links) your notes to the recorded audio. The information you capture during Paper Replay is called a session.
Typically, a session consists of the recorded audio and associated notes.
However, you can also create paperless sessions, which consist of the recorded audio only. You can also play back a session on your Pulse smartpen and write additional notes in your notebook. Paper Replay associates these additional notes with the session’s original audio. See the Pulse Smartpen User Manual for more information about using Paper Replay.
You can view and play back Paper Replay sessions in Livescribe Desktop. When you view a Paper Replay session, you can click your notes to begin playback of the audio recorded as you wrote the notes. This is similar to the way you can tap your actual notes in your notebook to begin audio playback.
About Active Ink
When you write with your Pulse smartpen, it captures your writing digitally and stores it in a digital form called ink. When you record audio as you write using
Paper Replay, your Pulse smartpen links the audio to the ink you write.
Ink with linked audio is active ink. In Livescribe Desktop, active ink appears green . When viewing a Paper Replay session in Page Viewer, you can click on active ink to start audio playback. Livescribe Desktop will also trace the session's notes in darker green ink as the audio plays.
When you mouse over ink that is active, the mouse cursor will change to a pointing hand cursor to help you identify where you can click to begin audio playback. See
Playing Audio and Viewing Pages for more information.

To play audio while viewing pages:
• When viewing a page in Page Viewer, click on the active ink (shown as green ) on the page. This will start the audio playback. This is analogous to tapping your notes in a notebook to play back the session's audio. Livescribe Desktop will also trace the session's notes in darker green ink as the audio plays.
Playing the audio of a session also opens the Session tab in the Navigator
Window.
Note: When you mouse over ink that is active, the mouse cursor will change to a pointing hand cursor playback.
to help you identify where you can click to begin audio
2BPaper Replay in Livescribe Desktop Page 25
Scrubbing Audio in Page Viewer
In Page Viewer, as you listen to a session and view its pages, you can move the audio timeline slider to reposition the audio playback. If you move the slider while the audio is playing, the audio and its active ink move to the corresponding timeline position. This process is scrubbing the audio.
You can use this feature to move forward or backward to a specific area of your session and see how it corresponds to your written notes.

Livescribe Desktop User Manual
Repositioning a Zoomed Page
When a page is zoomed to a size that is larger than the Content window, Livescribe
Desktop will crop some of the page. You may want to reposition the page to view its content.
To reposition a zoomed page:
• Use the vertical and horizontal scroll bars in the window to move the page to your preferred location in the window.
• Instead of using the scroll bars, you can reposition a zoomed page by hand using the open hand cursor . This cursor replaces the standard arrow cursor when the page is zoomed to be larger than the current Content window. The open hand cursor appears when you move over empty areas on the page. To move the page, click-and-drag the page to the desired position.
Note: When you move the cursor over active ink, the cursor changes to a pointing hand to identify the active ink.
• Use the Panning Map to move the zoomed area to different locations on the page. The panning map appears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen
2BPaper Replay in Livescribe Desktop Page 27
when a portion of the zoomed page falls outside the window. The Panning
Map has a draggable clear frame that shows the current zoomed region relative to the rest of the page. Drag this frame around the map to relocate the zoomed area in the window. Closing the Panning Map resizes the page to fit within the current window.
Searching Pages
In Page Viewer, you can search your written pages. Search can work on notes written in cursive, print, or a combination. Obviously, search accuracy depends on the neatness and consistency of your notes.
To search, use one of these methods:
Or,
1. Type search text into the search text box in the
Main tool bar. By default, this search method finds whole words. For example, entering "top" would find instances of "top" only. Search would not fine other words that contain the letters "top", like "topographic", and "mountaintop".
Search is not case sensitive, so if you search for "Top", it will return the same results as "top" and "TOP".
2. Press the Enter key to initiate the search.
1. Click the Search button
2. Type the search text into the Search dialog. By default, this search method finds whole words. If desired, you can choose to search for partial words. To
Page 28 Livescribe Desktop User Manual
search for partial words, uncheck the Match Whole Word checkbox. For partial word searches, entering "top" would find "top" and other words that contain the search string like "topographic", and "mountaintop". Because
Search is not case sensitive, "Top", "top", and "TOP" return the same results.
3. Click OK to initiate the search.
Viewing Search Results
When you perform a search, Livescribe Desktop searches through all pages in the current notebook. When Search finds one or more hits (text matches), it displays the results as shown below. Search opens the Search tab in the Navigation window and shows thumbnails of the pages where it found the search text. The results remain within the Search tab until you either initiate another search or close the tab. The
Search tab holds one set of search results at a time.
To view one of the search result pages, click on its thumbnail in the Search tab. This will open the page in Single Page mode in the Content window with the search hits highlighted yellow.
2BPaper Replay in Livescribe Desktop Page 29
Copying and Pasting Pages
You can copy your pages to the Clipboard of your operating system (such as
Windows Clipboard) and paste them into other applications like Microsoft Word.
Livescribe Desktop saves the content you copy as an image to the Clipboard.
To copy and paste a page:
1. Click the Page Viewer button in the Main tool bar to go to
Page Viewer.
2. Choose a page. For example, click the page in Thumbnail mode or doubleclick to open it in Single Page mode.
3. Choose Edit > Copy > With Background or Without Background. If you choose to include the background, the copied image will include anything shown on the page of the actual notebook. For example, an image from a college-ruled notebook will contain ruled lines.
4. Open a document in any application that handles images (for example,
Microsoft Word, most email programs, Microsoft Paint, and so on)
5. Use the application's Paste feature to paste the copied image into the document.
Printing Pages
In Page Viewer, you can print pages from your notebooks. Although active ink appears as green in the Content window, Livescribe Desktop prints it in black, just like non-active ink. Your printed page will not be interactive with your Pulse smartpen.
To print a single page:

Managing and Archiving Paper Products
Livescribe prints notebooks, journals, and other Livescribe dot paper products for your Pulse smartpen. There is nothing special about the composition of the paper used for Livescribe dot paper products. However, each page of Livescribe dot paper is printed with thousands of nearly-invisible microdots arranged in a special pattern.
Your Pulse smartpen reads these dots to determine which page you are using and where on that page you are tapping or writing. With this information, your Pulse smartpen can capture your notes, link audio to them, and perform other paper-based operations.
Livescribe dot paper products sometimes re-use dot pattern. As a general rule, do not use Livescribe dot paper products with the same dot pattern at the same time.
This prevents a potential problem that can happen when viewing your notebooks in
Livescribe Desktop: when you write in two notebooks with the same pattern, your notes from the second notebook will be superimposed on your notes from the first notebook when you view them in Livescribe Desktop.
Because Livescribe dot paper Products are important to working with your Pulse smartpen, you should learn to manage and archive them.
In this section, you will learn how to:
•
learn the three simple steps to managing paper products
•
•
identify Livescribe dot paper products by their names
•
archive your paper products in Livescribe Desktop
•
manage paper products with the same dot pattern
•
map Livescribe dot paper product series names to new group names
•
back up your My Livescribe folder
Three Simple Steps for Managing Paper Products
Understanding how your Pulse smartpen interacts with Livescribe dot paper can challenging. Fortunately, you do not need to know how it all works. All you need to do is follow three simple steps before using a new Livescribe dot paper notebook or journal:
1. When purchasing Livescribe dot paper, buy notebooks or journals that have different numbers from the ones you are currently using. For example, if you are already using
Lined Notebook numbered 1 through 4, you should purchase Lined Notebooks number 5 through 8.
Curious about Livescribe dot paper numbering? See
.
2. Before using the new paper product, tap on the Notebook Status Label. If it says you are already using a notebook with the same number, be sure to archive your old notebooks on Livescribe Desktop first.
Want to know more? See
Checking Paper Product Usage with the Notebook Status
3. Archive your notebooks and journals after you have finished with them before using another paper product of the same kind and number. After archiving, set aside your old notebook, you still have a digital copy on the Livescribe Desktop, but you no longer can tap an play paper replay sessions on your previous notebook.
To learn how to archive, see
Checking Paper Product Usage with the Notebook
Status Label
Each Livescribe dot paper product has a Notebook Status Label on its cover. Using the Notebook Status Label is the best way to tell if you are currently using a
Livescribe dot paper product that has the same dot pattern.
Page 46 Livescribe Desktop User Manual
To use the Notebook Status Label:
1. When you open a new Livescribe dot paper product, tap on its Notebook
Status Label with your Pulse smartpen.
2. Your Pulse smartpen display will show whether you are using another
Livescribe dot paper product with the same dot pattern. If you are, archive the older Livescribe dot paper product before using the new one. See
.
About Livescribe dot paper Product Naming
Livescribe identifies a Livescribe dot paper product by a group (such as Lined
Notebook) and a number (from 1 to 8). Any two Livescribe dot paper products labeled with the same group and number have the same dot pattern.
Groups
Livescribe dot paper products belong to a group based on their printed format (lined, unlined, grid ...) and form factor (notebook, journal, notepad …). Paper product groups include:
• Lined Notebooks
• Unlined Notebooks
• Lined Journals
• Unlined Journals
• Lined Notepads
• Unlined Notepads
4BManaging and Archiving Paper Products Page 47
Numbers
Livescribe identifies each notebook or journal with a number. Within a group, paper products labeled with the same number have the same dots. Paper products labeled with different numbers have different dot patterns.
Currently, numbers in a group run from 1 to 8. For example, the Lined Notebooks group contains the following notebooks:
• Lined Notebook 1
• Lined Notebook 2
• . . .
• Lined Notebook 8
Examples
As described above, if you want to use two paper products that have the same dot pattern, you must archive the first before using the next. For example, if you have two notebooks named Lined Notebook 1 you must archive one before using the other because they have same dot pattern. Similarly, all journals identified as Unlined
Journal 3 have the same dot pattern. If you have two Unlined Journal 3 journals, then you must archive one before starting on the next.
If two paper products have different dot patterns, you can use them at the same time without archiving. For example, Lined Notebook 1 has a different dot pattern from Lined Notebook 2, so you can use them at the same time. Similarly, Lined
Notebook 3 has a different dot pattern from Unlined Journal 3.
Archiving Paper Products
When you have finished using a Livescribe dot paper product, you should archive it in Livescribe Desktop. Archiving a Livescribe dot paper product does the following:
• frees up storage space on your Pulse smartpen
Page 48 Livescribe Desktop User Manual
• enables you to use another Livescribe dot paper product that has the same dot pattern as the one you archived. Livescribe dot paper products with the
same dot pattern have the same name. See About Livescribe dot paper
and
Mapping Series Names to Group Names .
• moves your notes and audio for a Livescribe dot paper product into an
Archived Notebooks folder in the Library Pane of the Navigation Window. This distinguishes Livescribe dot paper products you are currently using from those you have archived. Your notes and audio remain interactive in
Livescribe Desktop, just like non-archived Livescribe dot paper products.
• deletes your notes (ink data) and audio from your Pulse smartpen. Because of this, your Pulse smartpen will no longer interact with the physical Livescribe dot paper product that you archived. That is, when you tap the notes in your archived physical notebook, they will not play back any audio.
To archive a Livescribe dot paper product:
1. Update your Pulse smartpen software to Version 1.2 or later. Prior versions do not support this feature. To update your software, choose Help > Check for
Updates in the Main menu.
2. Click the Page Viewer button
Page Viewer.
in the Main tool bar to go to
3. Click the Library tab of the Navigation window and click the notebook you want to archive.
4BManaging and Archiving Paper Products Page 49
4. Choose File > Archive Notebook.
5. Click OK to confirm the archive operation, otherwise click Cancel.
6. Click Archive this notebook, otherwise click Cancel.
7. Livescribe Desktop will confirm your notebook has been archived, and you will see the archived notebook in your Library tab in an Archived Notebooks group.
Important : Do not archive a notebook unless you finished using the physical notebook and are ready to set it aside. Once you have archived a notebook, do not go back to its physical notebook and start writing on it again.
Managing Paper Products with the Same Dot Pattern
If you own two Livescribe dot paper products with the same Group and Number
(such as two Lined Notebook 2 paper products), you should follow these guidelines:
1. Use only one of the Livescribe dot paper products at a time. Do not use the two paper products at the same time.
2. Before starting on the second paper product, archive the first one with
Livescribe Desktop.
Page 50 Livescribe Desktop User Manual
For example, do not use two Lined Notebook 1 paper products at the same time.
Instead, use another lined notebook with a different Number, such as a Lined
Notebook 2, Lined Notebook 3, and so on.
If you have used all the Numbers in the Lined Notebook group, you may wish to start a second, unused Lined Notebook 1. To do so, archive the first Lined Notebook 1.
Then you can use your Pulse smartpen on the second Lined Notebook 1.
Using Packs of Paper Products
A pack contains Livescribe dot paper products of the same group. For example, you can buy a pack of Lined Notebooks. If you then buy a second pack of Lined
Notebooks, check if the Numbers of the notebooks are the same as in the first pack.
If so, then notebooks with the same Number will have the same dot pattern. You should proceed as follows:
1. Use all the Livescribe dot paper products in the first pack.
2. Before starting on the second pack, archive each paper product from the first pack with Livescribe Desktop.
Mapping Series Names to Groups and Numbers
Some Livescribe dot paper products use a naming convention based on Color, Name, and Series. New printings instead use Groups and Numbers for naming. If you have a notebook or journal with the Series naming convention, use the following tables to map it to the new Group/Number model.
Lined Notebooks
