Importion Audio from LiveScribe wifi pen to Audactiy

Post by gjohnso4 » Mon Oct 07, 2013 11:29 pm

Hi, I have been unable to export the audio files from my wifi smartpen using Livescribe. Their CS has been unable to help resolve this issue. Someone mentioned that I can export my audio data from the pen into Audacity. Can someone provide me with detailed instructions on how to do this? I'll admit to needing detailed instructions as I haven't been able to figure this out for myself yet. I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8. Thank you for any assistance.

Sorry, we do not support Lightscribe.
If you are able to export from Lightscribe in WAV format then it can be imported into Audacity by selecting "File menu > Import > Audio".

If you can create any common sound format, we can import those with the addition of the FFMpeg software. Doesn't have to be WAV, although that's the format likely to create the least problems.

This should be the one for Macs:
