does onenote work with pegasus pc-notetaker

[tw999]

I am thinking of trying the digital pen to use with my laptop. Is this
compatible with Onenote?

Since you're not using a Tablet PC you won't get the native Ink-based
handwriting recognition that you would get with a Tablet.

The Pegasus should work as any other external digitizing tablet or pen would
- it is treated as a mouse by OneNote; you can "write" using it, but anything
you write would be treated only as a drawing. OneNote will not convert the
drawing to text or allow you to search the contents of that drawing.

Having said that, I'm not sure if the models perform their own handwriting
conversion (or really how that specific products works). The website
mentions that it is compatible with the Microsoft Handwriting Recognition
Engine, which is separate from the Tablet/Ink engine.

Given that, I might recommend using the Pegasus with either its own built-in
recognition (if such a feature exists - io just don't know) for data entry
and then use OneNote to organize the notes you take.

Thanks - in the end I cancelled my order for the Pegasus and ordered the
Logitech io2 digital pen instead. On the website there it says it supports
MS onenote.

It comes with myscript notes which I'm assuming translates the text to type
and can then be used in onenote. In any case, if it does not it does say
that the ink text notes are fully searchable. I hope to receive it within 10
days which is within the trial period for Onenote - so should be able to test
it out and decide the best method.

Am I right in thinking that MS Onenote is only supporting the ink for tablet
pc edition which only runs on 'expensive' tablet machines and no PDA type
devices?

As a working student, there is no way on earth i could afford the 1.5+k
prices of real tablet machines.

Is the Logitech io2 digital pen working with onenote in regards to being
searchable data?

Dear MASimp,

I am interested in how your trial with the logitech io2 digital pen went.

Could your handwriting be converted into text, as would otherwise if you
used a tablet?

I use the phone alot from my office, and have ordinary note books to record
conversations. It is a mess when you have to dig through and find these old
notes.

As you can see I seriously looking at incorporating OneNote, if I can use a
digital pen.

Appreciate your reply.

Happy New Year.

Dear Steve Ribich,
I was asking the same question you asked me. I copied the original email
in my comment - sorry for the confusion. I am looking forward to also
finding out about conversion to text with the Logitech io2 digital pen.
