It’s A Simple Question Really…
Is Livescribe Pulse notebooks compatible with the FLY Fusion Pen?
I’ve been toying with the “digital pen” idea. My husband bought me a FLY Fusion for Christmas last year. Just now, I’m getting around to using it for any length of time. It’s a bit bulky for my hand, but I’m doing my novel re-write project with it, to see if it has a good use.
We’ve been looking at the Livescribe Pulse, which I like in THEORY because it’s smaller and geared for grown-ups. HOWEVER, in doing the research, I’ve discovered it doesn’t yet have an essential application — handwriting to text OCR conversion. It just downloads your handwriting to the computer, it doesn’t turn it into a text file. GEEZ… It’s SUPPOSEDLY coming…
Anyway, my seemingly simple question is this… are the dot paper notebooks compatible??? Livescribe has the best notebooks for the best deals — 4 x 100 page spirals at 8×10.5 size or 2 journal notebooks ($20-$25) where FLY just has 70 page single subject notebooks for $8/piece.
Can you believe no one has an answer for that? I’ve contacted FLY. I’ve put a post on Livescribe. I’ve just now sent an email to Anoto who developed a lot of the paper technology.
I would LOVE someone to answer the question before I shell out $20 for an experiment. And there’s very little on eBay right now for that route of experimentation.
Does anyone out there know?

Hi Reudaly,
I’m a Livescribe employee, so I can answer your question about the dot paper. Our dot paper notebooks only work with the Pulse smartpen, so it won’t work with your FLY Fusion pen.
As for the text OCR conversion, you’ll be able to use a third-party service for the Pulse smartpen.
Best,
Karen
