Appositio

Appositio (ap-po-sit’-i-o): Addition of an adjacent, coordinate, explanatory or descriptive element.

My new Livescribe Echo Smartpen, given my severe hearing loss, enables me to record audio on my pen while I’m taking notes, download the audio to my i-Phone, listen to it, and check it against my notes to make sure they’re accurate.

No more asking in meetings “Could you repeat that please?” Together with my Phonak Audéo Q’s, my smart pen has improved my quality of life!

It’s like having a third ear in my hand!
