Paper Replay in Livescribe Desktop

Paper Replay™ is a Pulse™ smartpen application that allows you to write notes in

your notebook and record audio at the same time. As you write, your smartpen
indexes (or links) your notes to the recorded audio. The information you capture

during Paper Replay is called a session.

Typically, a session consists of the recorded audio and associated notes.
However, you can also create paperless sessions, which consist of the recorded

audio only. You can also play back a session on your Pulse smartpen and write

additional notes in your notebook. Paper Replay associates these additional notes

with the session’s original audio. See the Pulse Smartpen User Manual for more

information about using Paper Replay.

You can view and play back Paper Replay sessions in Livescribe Desktop. When

you view a Paper Replay session, you can click your notes to begin playback of

the audio recorded as you wrote the notes. This is similar to the way you can tap
your actual notes in your notebook to begin audio playback.

About Active Ink

When you write with your Pulse smartpen, it captures your writing digitally and

stores it in a digital form called ink. When you record audio as you write using

Paper Replay, your smartpen links the audio to the ink you write.

Ink with linked audio is active ink. In Livescribe Desktop, active ink appears

green

. When viewing a Paper Replay session in Page Viewer, you can click on

active ink to start audio playback. Livescribe Desktop will also trace the session's

notes in darker green ink as the audio plays.

When you mouse over ink that is active, the mouse cursor will change to a

pointing hand cursor

to help you identify where you can click to begin audio

playback. See

Playing Audio and Viewing Pages

for more information.
