Livescribe Pen - Help with Note-Taking

Note-taking is difficult for many people with dyslexia - it's hard to quickly translate what's heard into printed words, and still keep up with the rest of the lecture.

The Livescribe pen is an MP3 recorder that has a camera in the tip. By writing on special paper, you can tap on the relevant part of your notes and hear what was said in the lecture at the same time. This saves a huge amount of time because it's too much to replay all the days notes after school. Livescribe pen

We commonly request that students be allowed to use a Livescribe pen as an accommodation. An alternative to this type of pen may be the iPad with a note-taking app.

Comment by Jeannie Sims on March 12, 2011 at 4:30pm: A LD-saavy philosophy professor used the Live Scribe when writing out homework for his Symbolic Logic class. He was aware of a dyslexic student prone to confuse symbols and because she was a good auditory learner, his recording allowed her (and the entire class) to listen to his comments as they did their homework. The dyslexic student responded very well to this accommodation which, it seems to me, would also be great for math homework.
