Livescribe+

First use was great. It did transcribe my couple of sentences. Then I added more and that worked. I added more and couldn’t get it to transcribe the text though it appeared in the page image. The software has no “force transcription” option. So, I wrote at the bottom of the page and that triggered a scan of the entire page. Other stability problem: when you are looking at a transcription and select “Share transcript text and then “Save to Quicknote” it does open Quicknote but it doesn’t transfer the text; it’s just an empty note. They have been making this produce for more than a decade, surely they could have improved the UI by now and its stability.

Not sure why all the bad reviews on this app. I downloaded the app, followed the directions, and it worked fine. This app and the pen that comes with it has made my work tremendously easier and more efficient.

My wife bought the journal and pen for me maybe 8 years ago. Since then I bought 3 additional journals and it’s changed my total workflow. No more guessing.. “did I write it in my notebook? Or in my phone notes?”.. now it’s both! And I just went to the App Store to see what was new and saw the low rating.. I don’t know what anyone else’s experiences are but I just came to share mine. I absolutely love it.

I run it on my Mac Studio and it works perfectly. I only to make the occassional change to the transcription. My handwritten text is accurately and quickly transcribed.

This is pretty terrible for iOS…when I open up the app on iPhone nothing was there... Pages blank, functions unusable, and the pairing functions 😡😡😡😡i went in circles with the help pages to end up not getting connected to my phone. After I did the BT back & forth, still nothin. Kept getting that the device list connected was full but after removing old things from my phone, I figured it was the pens list ..I tried to update the firmware but could get it to work until I Decided to try my android.. and boom. App works, pen was found and I removed the devices from the settings. Really bummed because my office is Mac & iOS only :(

Update And I willl continue to update this review until this company fixes this garbage product. 1. If your phone goes to sleep, the app disconnects fro. The pen and you have to associate the pen to the app. You have to do this every time 2. The pen has difficulty recognizing livescribe Anoto notebooks Still a pissant peoduct that I use because I paid for it. Since Anoto bought this company, the product has declined. It’s just the same one recycled with a new body. No improvements over the one pen and no improvements with the app and decreased selections when it comes to paper selections Why do I have to sour my pen multiple times? If the goal is to bankrupt this the original company then this is an excellent plan. Someone bought this company to eliminate it as a competitor because before Anoto, the products were excellent!

I have been a long time livescribe user but you have totally wrecked a decent product with poor software. Did you even try the app with your hardware? The connectivity issues are horrendous rendering a $100-200 pen inoperable. I’m moving on…hope someone buys your company that is more competent.

App doean not work!

I have my Echo II paired with my iPad Pro (current edition), but my recordings and notebooks will not sync. I went to the website help page, but the “helper” app downloads but will not install onto my iPad.

Open the app and it crashes within the first minute. I can’t work fast enough before the crash. Makes my pen useless.
