Beginning Nov. 24, consumers can download the public beta software for free. The software makes it possible for Mac users to upload their notes and audio recordings, play them back, search for words, and browse through digital copies of their notes.
Livescribe is inviting all Pulse smartpen owners to e-mail their feedback on the public beta release to: cs@livescribe.com. Version 1.0 of the Livescribe Desktop for Mac will be available in the first quarter of 2009. All current and new users of the Pulse smartpen can use Pulse with Mac computers for free.
