context_page_description: The Livescribe paper-based computing platform consists of a digital pen, digital paper, software applications, and developer tools.
  Central to the Livescribe platform is the smartpen, a ballpoint pen with an embedded computer and digital audio recorder. When used with Anoto digital paper, it records what it writes for later uploading to a computer, and synchronizes those notes with any audio it has recorded. This allows users to replay portions of a recording by tapping on the notes they were taking at the time the recording was made. It is also possible to select which portion of a recording to replay by clicking on the relevant portion of a page on-screen, once it has been synced to the Livescribe Desktop software.
  Jim Marggraff, inventor of the LeapFrog FLY Pentop computer and creator of the LeapPad Learning System, left Leapfrog in 2005 to form Livescribe.
  In November 2015, Livescribe announced its acquisition by Anoto for $15m.
context_section_description: Livescribe's special paper that allows the recording of notes uses a patented dot-positioning system licensed from Anoto.
