During November an exciting app was released for the Livescribe Smart Pen Echo model, the app called Paper Tablet allows you to use your Echo smartpen as a mouse and turn your dot paper notebooks into an extension of your screen just like a graphics tablet. When the pen is connected to your computer via the USB cable, your Echo smartpen can be used to mark up slides, presentations, PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets quickly and easily.
Programs that can be used with the app include: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, outlook, skype, acrobat plus many more**.
Paper Tablet tracks your smartpen while it moves over and on Livescribe dot paper, allowing the smartpen to be used as your computer’s cursor. Enter left-click, right-click, and click-and-drag commands from your notebook.
This application will allow you to do all those simple yet frustrating tasks such as handwritten notes, drawings, or graphs directly into your digital documents. Enjoy the feel of pen on paper while capturing that brilliant idea, rough sketch, or even adding a personal touch to your emails.
Paper Tablet is only available on the Livescribe Echo. This product will need to be purchased from the Livescribe Store – whilst the Echo Smartpen is available from ITmadeSimple.
** Paper Tablet allows the Echo smartpen to identify itself as a HID (human interface device) to the computer. As a result there are some applications that are incompatible with Paper Tablet; specifically, Paper Tablet is not compatible with Adobe Photoshop on MacOS, and can not access all tools and features within Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator on Windows or MacOS.
