Livescribe Symphony: Best for quality on a budget
Livescribe Symphony is a fantastic blend of features, build quality, ease of use, and a reasonable price. It reflects a company that has worked towards perfection for many years, and it is pretty close to that.
The pen feels comfortable and easy to write with, offers 10 hours of battery life, converts text to text directly, and lets you dictate with your paired smartphone. You're required to use special paper for detection, and there were one or two pairing issues during testing, but overall, for the price, this is impressive.
Charges quickly and easily via USB, making it the go-anywhere choice that you don't have to worry about dying with its 90-day standby time. It's also so discreet that you won't be noticed when using the smartpen, nor will you notice, as this is very comfortable and natural to use.
Advantages:
- Ergonomic comfort
- Converts writing to text well
- Dictate with a phone
Disadvantages:
- Special paper required
- The odd pairing issue
