Abstract: A smartpen configured for hands free audio recording is disclosed. One example smartpen may be configured so that a microphone contained in the smartpen is automatically oriented for unobstructed reception of ambient sound when the smartpen is placed on a supporting surface. Another example smartpen may have a weight distribution that causes the smartpen to roll to a desired orientation of the microphone when the smartpen is placed on a supporting surface with the microphone in a different orientation. Still another example smartpen may have one or more surface features disposed on a surface of the body of the smartpen, where the surface features are configured to position the microphone in a desired orientation when the smartpen is placed on a supporting surface.
