The audio quality is good enough to playback over headphones,but there are drawbacks. The mic is good enough to pick up speakers clearly from 15-30ft away, but to get to that range one must increase the sensitivity of the mic. When the input level is increased, the mic picks up the clicking from typing and noises made within its range e.g. a cough behind you, a pencil clacked onto a desk next to you. I haven't found a way to rectify this yet using the onboard mic. Also, I have not been able to save audio separate from the word doc either. Hope this helps!

I just wrote a review on the Livescribe pen recorder, which I love by the way, but I'm missing an integration with OneNote so far. That's how I found this article. Maybe I'll try this out, using the PC as recorder, but I guess that you'll need an external microphone for decent quality. .-= Luc J´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.cleverandeasy.com/Multimedia/livescribe-pulse-smartpen-link-notes-and-audio-recording.html" rel="nofollow">Livescribe Pulse Smartpen – Link Notes And Audio Recording</a> =-.

However (and I hope this isn't completely off-the-subject and not useful), I've had my English Language Learner students use the extraordinary text-to-voice feature of Scribd (http://www.scribd.com/). Whatever they write can be "spoken" back to them, or anyone, in a computer-generated (yet pretty decent) voice. And, even better, it's then hosted by Scribd and can be accessed by family members and other students. I think Scribd is one of the best web applications out there to assist in language development activities. You can see many examples of my students' use of this great service at: http://www.bayworld.net/ferlazzo/Student%20Work.html#talkingstories I have not used this option in Word.
