When it comes to taking notes in business meetings you have several choices―each with their advantages and disadvantages. Use a laptop and provided you can type fast enough, you’ll get notes you can cut and past for easy reuse and sharing. But the laptop itself is a physical barrier to you and your clients and constant pounding of the keyboard may irritate others. Use pen and paper and you can make drawings as well as written notes, but you’ll need to scan and transcribe later to get computer-usable data to share with business partners. Record, and again you’ll need to transcribe using a speech to text solution―if you have one. The Livescribe Pulse Smartpen is an additional option. It is a pen that records both handwriting and voice. It is relatively unobtrusive in use and it uploads data to your computer. Is it the perfect solution for the time-poor businessperson?
