The association between the pen and the
paper also deals with the pen's ability to
record audio with what you have written
on the paper.
This process is called 'Paper Replay' and
is initiated by using the recording controls
on the bottom of each page.
13. When you have tapped the record button
on the bottom of the page, the audio
recorder begins recording. As you take
notes, the pen lines up what you wrote
with what was recorded at that same
moment and does this until you stop the
recording.
After you have done this, and Paper
Replay is turned on the pen, you can
then tap anywhere in your notes and the
audio recording will start playing from
that point
