All kinds of different things that had been going on for me. When I was deciding what I wanted to help people with and create training on, I reflected on what had helped me the most in Silicon Valley corporate career, starting my own company, raising a family or remodeling a house.

They’re not productive and they waste a lot of time. If they aren’t using it and instead living more chaotically, putting stuff on backs of envelopes and Post-it notes and putting things in their Notes app on their phone, it’s a chaotic mess.

The results are a bit hit and miss – we're still waiting for a Facebook post to appear long after we connected the pen – but it's a promising idea.“You can have the best tool in the world, but if you don’t know how to apply it to your life and your business, you end up with #Nevernote.”

The new Connect software bolsters the Echo Smartpen's feature set by letting you connect to your email, Facebook, EverNote or Google Docs account, and send notes, diagrams and recordings by writing the name of the service and tapping the pages you want to send, then connecting the pen to your computer. Whenever you tap the notes you've written, the pen will automatically play back the recording it took as you wrote. Tap this with the Smartpen and it will begin recording sound with its built-in microphone as you write until you tap the 'stop' icon. Unfortunately there's no OCR functionality built in that can transform handwriting into editable text for use in word processors, though there are apps available if this is a feature you're likely to use regularly.Įach page of the notebook includes a small 'record' icon.
