I’ve had a livescribe pulse since it came out more than three years ago. Just yesterday my pre-order of the Wacom Inkling pen came in from Amazon. So now I’ve got something to compare the livescribe to. Really, though, there isn’t much comparison. Livescribe wins, handily.
- livescribe is more accurate, especially out at the edges of the pages
- livescribe software is much better — the inkling software is bare bones to say the least; to wit, livescribe has search, Inkling’s Sketch Manager does not. livescribe software knows about the ordering of pages, Inkling does not. The list goes on and on.
- livescribe is much cheaper — half price, really.
- livescribe is easier to carry around: with the livescribe, you carry a pen and notebook just as you would need to otherwise. With Inkling, you need to carry an extra receiver that you need to clip on to whatever you write with.
- livescribe records audio, giving you a whole dimension of context you just don’t get with Inkling.
I can see how the inkling, with its pressure sensitivity, etc. could be useful for artists. But for a scientist, engineer, student, journalist, or anyone else really other than an artist, the livescribe is a far superior product.
I’m wondering if u know about the drawing capabilities of this two interesting tools.
in ur opinon. wich is better
livescribe, inklink, a bamboo tablet with the same price.
Do you mean for art or diagram type drawing?
If for art, then not really. I don’t do any drawings of that type.
If for diagrams, then I really prefer livescribe.
I think for art my inclination is that I’d prefer a bamboo tablet, but again, I’m not really qualified to comment on that kind of thing.
Can I send live scribe to other person who does not have livescribe …and can he read it with audio..
