How do I record audio without using paper?

We refer to recording audio without paper as a “Paperless Session”.
 
This feature, also known as a “Quick Record”, allows you to record without writing on your dot enabled paper.  To activate this feature, turn your Smartpen on and hold the power button down

Your pen will turn off when the power button is held and then turn back on in a recording session after approximately five seconds.

The Smartpen is now recording audio without linking to written notes.  If you decide to write on Livescribe paper, your audio and notes will be linked from that point on.
