Resolution

Note

The original Echo Desktop app is no longer supported. The Livescribe + Desktop app can be used and its operation may therefore vary.

Please visit this page to download Windows and Mac OS versions of the app if not already installed:

Please switch to the Pencasts tab in the Livescribe + Desktop app because records do not pay until the recordings are downloaded to the computer first even when you see items in Notebook view where play buttons show. 

1. Connect your Livescribe Echo 2 pen to your computer and launch the Livescribe + Desktop app.
2. Then click on the Pencasts tab in the app. You may wish to confirm the pen is connected in the status line.
3. Then click the Sync button on the toolbar, a new dialogue will appear.
4. Click any or all items in the list of recordings stored on the pen and click “Download”.
5. Then records will when display in the Pencasts list.
6. Highlight any recording and click “Play” on the toolbar.
