I realize that the new Livescribe LivePen and their newer Inq pens are all the rage nowadays. I’ve been using them off and on for a bit now. Their AI-assisted transcription is nifty! And I was hoping that the live display of my writing would be more useful to me. There is a bit of a trade-off switching from Livescribe’s stable, and feature-rich Livescribe+ app to the newer apps that run the LivePen and Inq. Namely, that while the software has an emphasis on the cloud and AI features, many of the features of the established software are missing, and the resolution of the writing looks terrible.
I have a few Livescribe Symphony pens that I purchased on Amazon from a shop that advertised them as ‘new in box, but won’t accept a charge.’ I bought one to see if it would come back to life with one of the batteries that I’ve sourced as replacements for the Livescribe Aegir and Symphony pens. Well, yes, it did come back to life!
The Symphony pen with the replacement battery functioned just like new. It paired with a couple of my devices and synchronized writing from my Livescribe notebook. Livescribe+ App is available in the App Store for Apple devices and in the Google Play Store for Android. So there is no reason not to use the Symphony pen, especially when you can get replacement batteries from us!
I immediately purchased the rest of their limited stock of ‘new but dead’ Symphony pens as a refurbishing project. I can offer the refurbished pens for sale if there is interest. Please send in your comments! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts…
