Cyperpad from Adesso

P

pattyjamas

This is a little off topic for this forum but has anyone tried the
Cyberpad from Adesso.

Results?

I have read reviews and they seem positive.

My handwriting is not the best and I think it understands cursive
better than printing but I really would like to hear form recent
purchasers of this product.

It uses Evernote and people usually upgrade to Evernote plus. There are
converters to make it work with OneNote.

Thank you
Patty

Thanks. I do not own Cyberpad at this time. For grins I did a scan from
my scanner and then tried to do a paste into EverNote Plus trial
edition. Could not get it to paste correctly or do an OCR. Strange. I
wrote tech support.

Thanks

I'm not sure if I'm the most impartial party, but I've done the
development on the CyberConverter by Blue Euclid Software
(www.blueeuclid.com) which in short allows the Cyberpad to be used with
OneNote. We have beta support for OneNote 2007 and we're planning on
integration with other Office 2007 products.

Our intention is to make the Cyberpad into a cheap Tablet PC
alternative. Our product converts the strokes you collect on the
Cyberpad to a true Microsoft Ink object, ie it's *not* rasterized. It
will be the same as if you had inputed the strokes into OneNote using a
Tablet PC. This means you can do handwriting to text conversion,
resize the ink, etc. If you want to digitize meeting notes, and use
powerful Microsoft products to organize and manipulate them, then you
can do so with the Cyberpad + CyberConverter + OneNote. In my opinion,
this setup works pretty well.

In terms of handwriting recognition, you should be aware that the
algorithms used by both Evernote and Microsoft OneNote don't really
work with images (scanned or otherwise). Instead both products need
work off Ink data structure which tracks the strokes used, their order,
etc.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
Can OneNote be used on a PC as opposed to a tablet PC? I tried to
install OneNote on XP but it said it must be installed on a tablet PC.
Makes sense but wonder if there was a workaround.

Thanks, Patty

OneNote installs on XP. If you want ink (without Cyperpad), you need to
install it on a TabletPC.

In OneNOte 2007 you can import the ISF into OneNote and ask OneNote to run
the ink analyzer when the user goes to that page. That will easily allow
people to search thier imported ink as well as turn it into text.

If you have questions about this Jason please let me know, you have my email
address.

Also some versions of Vista will have more ink support.

Jason,

When I downloaded One Note 2003 it said it would not install since I
have Windows XP and not Windows Tablet OS. How can I get around this?

Also can I download One Note scan in a document via my scanner, save in
some format and see if it can convert my handwriting to text?

Thank you

You downloaded a ON 2003 trial version?
I'd download OneNote 2007 Beta 2 for $1.50 from the Office Preview Site,
follow by B2TR and install that. It expires March 31, 2007.

Got it installed this time. 2003 version. The various OneNote features
were crippled so I could not take a scanned handwritten document from
my scanner and paste/open/import into OneNote. Features were grayed out
and a cut and paste did not work.

Ideas?

Thanks,Patty

Daniel -

I wonder if you might be willing to shed some light on this process. I
am using XP Pro on a non-tablet pc with ON2007 Beta TR2. Just got the
Adesso Cyberpad, and the CyberConverter utility, and all is great until
I try to convert the handwriting to text after it's been pulled into
OneNote. Does the ink analyzer work if you're not on a Tablet PC? I
have the XP handwriting service installed, and it seems to work fine
when I use the mouse as a pen in other applications besides OneNote.
Problem is, when I convert from the CyberPad to OneNote (which btw
works flawlessly Jason), I then have an image that OneNote won't
convert to text.

The reason I think this is a OneNote problem is that when I "write"
directly with the mouse in pen-mode in OneNote, then try the "convert
handwriting to text" option, it also fails. No error message or
anything; just no conversion. I even repaired the OneNote install
after loading the XP handwriting recognition service, but w/ no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
