The system actually outsources much of its functionality to the smartphone. There’s no way to hook up microphone earbuds, so I couldn’t use the paper tablet and pen to record phone calls-a crucial part of my job as a reporter. There’s still something oddly hypnotizing about watching your pen strokes appear instantly on your mobile device, as if by magic.Īs a longtime Livescribe user, my biggest beef with Moleskine’s Smart Writing Set is that its recording capabilities are limited. Oh, and the thing digitizes everything-and can even capture audio-as you write. (It’s iOS only for now, with Android coming soon.) You can tag, search, or export each page, and sharing is compatible with a plethora of applications and devices, including iCloud, Google Drive, Evernote and Adobe. The app, meanwhile, lets you liven up your notes and sketches with colors or even erase portions of your notes. The notebook itself-which Moleskine calls a Paper Tablet-is a big part of the offering, too, and it’s every bit a pleasure to write in as the company’s other journals. The black aluminum pen ( a Neo smartpen) feels solid and sleek compared to Livescribe’s bulkier versions, and it incorporates some cool tech: a hidden camera that traces and digitizes your every stroke of the pen. The Smart Writing Set represents the company's first effort to brand an entire pen-paper-and-app set by itself, and it’s clearly picked up a few smart things from experience. Moleskine has waded into digital products before, but it leveraged partnerships with other companies who already own a piece of that world (Evernote, Livescribe).
