        - Write on Livescribe dot paper and watch everything appear instantly on
          iPhone, iPad or iPod touch devices with Bluetooth(R) Smart wireless technology.
        - Use the built-in microphone on a tablet or smartphone to create interactive

        - Convert handwriting to text to create tasks, reminders, contacts and calendar
          events.
