The Pulse Smartpen is one of those things that seem to be a cool thing on the outside, and might prove to be actually bad. With the Addition of the MyScript for the mac, the Pulse Smartpen might actually change the way I take notes.
MyScript brings to the Livescribe Desktop software conversion to text capabilities for notes taken with the the Pulse smartpen. This version that I am looking at is for the Mac version of the desktop software. This completes my worries about the pen languishing in my arsenal without being able to be used for what I wanted it to do.
The promise of the software and the pen is that I can write with the pen, it will capture those notes, and with MyScript I should be able to convert my handwritten notes into text for use in other programs. The promise, for me, has been delivered.
MyScript does an eerily conversion of my handwriting that has been the bane of my own existence. Poor penmanship has meant that other pieces of software returned gibberish from my notes. What I have found is that MyScript does a fairly decent job. A few changes are required, but for the most part I get what I wrote in a text form that I can use with other pieces of software.
If you need to write your notes and would like a way to get them into your computer as text this might be what you are looking for.
