Livescribe Connect is an innovative and easy way to send handwritten notes to popular web services.

Livescribe has launched an upgrade for all its pens in the form of Livescribe Connect that lets users to share notes and pencasts through email, save them to Evernote or Google Docs and all that.

Livescribe’s digital pen makes use of special paper for note-taking. The pen can record writing digitally as well as audio while the user writes his/her notes. The cumulative effect is that the users can tap a word or a doodle, and Livescribe plays back the audio recorded at the time of writing.

These audio-and-text notes can be played back any time. Since Livescribe creates pencasts by entrenching Flash within a PDF document, countless other services could supposedly play them back as well.

The user can draw a back-and-forth line below the notes, and can activate the new tool, and the digital pen's one-line LCD reads "Command". The user can then write a command such as "Evernote" or "Email" anywhere on the page, tap once on each page he/she wants to send, and double-tap the paper when finished. Then the saved pencast can be sent to the desired web service.

Those who have the 2GB version of the digital pen have to purchase a $14.99 upgrade to get features like email and Google Docs connections, while those who have 4GB and 8GB versions of the digital pen can enjoy those features for free.
