Importing Pencasts
The .pencast file format lets you and others exchange and share your smartpen content, including
audio, pages, or both. Anyone with Livescribe Desktop installed on their computer can import .pencast
files. Because .pencast files are a native Livescribe format, you can work with imported .pencast files
just like other pages and audio, including viewing and searching pages, playing back audio, and even
sharing. Sharing .pencast files is an alternative to uploading pencasts to Livescribe Online as Flash
movies.
To import a .pencast file:
1. Choose File > Import Pencast
2. Locate and choose the .pencast file to import.
3. Click Import. Livescribe Desktop puts the file under Imports in the Library tab.
