Noob needs help.....

[bandwidth_addict]

Hello people. Iam trying to set up Onenote for a person i. I have
attached a Wacom Graphire-3 tablet to the laptop with Onenote
installed. After installing MS updates i have finally gotten it to
work.... well sort of. After writing a note (with the wacom nib/pen) i
highlight it with right click option (with mouse) , specify that it is
not a drawing (forgotten the name of the button) then convert it to
text. The text is shocking and incorrect in a 10 word sentence

I turned another option on where the word im writing is highlighted...
After i specify that it is not a drawing (forgotten the name of the
button) then convert that one word to text , it works !!!! spot on...
but this is only doing it word by word...... Is there a way to have it
convert to handwriting automatically?? as iam writing Am i doing
something wrong having to specify that its not a drawing , then click
convert to text everytime. Is there a switch to make it permantly stay
on not a drawing.

I have searched the NGs and only found this :

Create a DWORD entry ShowWritingGuideMenu with a value of 1.

Thank You Kindly.




I will have to try this tommorow. Will this menu allow H/W to text
conversion on the fly???


One last question. Does Onenote learn a persons handwriting, or does it
just convert from an unchanging database of handwriting pre-installed

Well ... I have a wacom graphire3 6x8 as well.

In the OneNote vs. EverNote battle, EverNote is much better at HW from
the graphire3 Tablet. You should check that out. EverNote also
automatically converts HW to text.

Neither is that good in my opinion.

I would ask yourself are you doing this the right way.

Typing is much faster than handwriting.

Unless you are a slowpoke typer.

OneNote doesn't do the ink recognition; that's done by the Tablet PC inking
engine which comes with the Tablet PC OS. So all OneNote is going to do is
accept whatever the Graphire presents. It's not going to learn any
handwriting and it's not going to do any handwriting recognition.

You should probably check with Wacom and see what handwriting recognition
tools they offer -- then have the Wacom recognize the handwriting and paste
it into OneNote accordingly.
