We’ve found that in this ever changing technological landscape, constantly switching between written and typed notes can be frustrating.  So we’ve created award-winning digital smartpens that bring these two worlds together, instantly bringing your notes, words and ideas to digital life.

Livescribe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anoto Group AB, is the global leader in smartpen design and manufacturing and was the first smartpen manufacturer in the world.  Research has proven that hand-writing notes instead of typing them improves information retention and creativity.  However, it’s also true that handwritten notes on traditional paper often get lost, damaged, or can be difficult to read. Regardless, the world continues to rely on handwritten notes as part of daily life – whether to jot down a grocery list or work in a classroom or meetings in a professional environment.  Our Livescribe pens, LivePen and Echo II, help to overcome the challenges of traditional pen and paper by marrying the practicality of them with advanced technology – instantly turning handwritten notes and documents into digital ones.

All our Livescribe notebooks use regular paper printed with a unique pattern of tiny micro-dots. This pattern is called DPS and works like a GPS for the smartpen.  The smartpen’s high‐speed infrared camera reads the dot‐pattern, which enables a wide range of digital functionalities and paper-based applications.  All Livescribe’s Smartpaper notebooks are provided at prices comparable to standard paper products.
