Livescribe has released an update for all its pens, called Livescribe Connect, which will now allow users to share notes and pencasts online, send notes via email, save them to Evernote or Google Docs.

The Livescribe pens are used to write on a special paper and are also capable of recording audio while the user is taking notes. Users can easily play back these audio-and-text notes, called pencasts on the pen of on a desktop PC through the Livescribe Desktop software.

As the company uses Flash within a PDF document to create pencasts, other services could be used to play back as well. The Livescribe Connect update creates notes and pencasts that are accessible from many places.

When the user draws a back-and-forth line below the notes, the device gets activated. The pen's one-line LCD reads "Command?" and users can write "Evernote" or "Email" anywhere on the page, tap once on each page they want to send and double tap to stop. As the pen is docked next time, it sends all the content recorded.

Livescribe Connect offers services including Email, Evernote, Google Docs, Facebook, Mobile (iPhone/iPad), MyLiveScribe that is an online storage space for pencasts and desktop computer. The pencast is mostly saved as a PDF and then sent or uploaded to the desired service.

Livescribe Connect will be rolled out on Monday as a firmware upgrade to current Livescribe owners and will be built into the new models.
