You can take a picture with the camera and the app converts it into a PDF file or other formats, and it allows you to email it etc.

I use it for keeping copies of notes, and for sending items from newspapers/magazines to myself or friends by email.

You can try the JotNot Scanner free app, and if you like it get the Pro. it only costs 59p in the UK, and worth every penny to me.
I have tried it but found that taking pictures of all the pages is a bit of a pain and not really a replacement for Livescribe. But I think it is a fine program for other applications and use it. I have not tried automatic transcription with any of these products, although I do voice to text transcription.

Another very useful iPad app is the program Note Taker HD. I use it and a Boxwave stylus to write notes on the iPad directly and those can also be sent as PDFs. I dont think the quality (nor feel) is as good as with Livescribe due to the limitations of writing on the iPad but I use it a lot (I take a lot of notes) as well as Livescribe. The notes from Note Taker HD can be emailed as PDFs as well. Im experimenting with using Livescribe in my office and at home and Note Taker HD while traveling.
