Livescribe+

Quick fix after a few days.

Crashes whenever I try to load a pencast

PLEASE FIX!

I have the Livescribe 3 smart pen and have for years, it won’t connect to the app and the app crashes when I try to pair to the pen again. I hasn’t paired in over a year despite being connected to Bluetooth

I use to love live scribe, not over the last few years the quality has become HORRIBLE. It is more hassle than it is worth. Stay away.

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 :(
