Setting up your Echo II smartpen

It’s important to set the time and date on your Echo smartpen because your recorded notes are time-stamped with the date and time they were created.

Play Back a Pencast

Tap your handwritten notes to hear the audio that was recorded at the time you wrote your notes. Use the printed icons at the bottom of each page to control your pencast playback.
