Sharing LiveScribe Files- Pulse and Echo

Using the Pulse or Echo LiveScribe pen, you can create a Pencast of your lesson which can include both audio of your lesson and an animation of the notes you write in your LiveScribe notebook. The pencasts can be shared with othersin various formats. The two most common methods are to link to an online pencast and to save the pencast locally as a multimedia PDF (with embedded audio and pen strokes).

Do not remove the pen while it is synchronizing. You will see a message (on the status bar) when the synchronizing is complete.
