Onenote should have handwriting recognition that can work with a .

[Krazy Darcy]

I am running Onenote 2003 and Office 2003 on my main computer which I also
use for graphics and use a graphics tablet on the same machine in photoshop.
The handwriting recognition apparently is a part of the tablet pc OS.

My question is why can't handwriting recognition be provided in Onenote 2003
to work on desktop pc's where graphics tablets are in use?

Darcy, the Tablet PC Edition computers use Ink recognizers and a sampling
rate three to four times faster than the desktop's mouse transmission rate.
The experience of "emulated" handwriting versus the Tablet PC Ink is not
very good. OneNote uses the Tablet Ink engines for handwriting in
combination with the special, digital pens.

Hi Chris

Is your post corporate shorthand for "we can't be bothered to try"?

If this technological limitiation genuinely limits handwriting recognition
in onenote 2003 using a pen tablet, how come Evernote Plus copes just fine?
Surely the mighty Office can out-do a $50 3rd party app?

The whole point of integrated office solutions is that you don't have to use
3rd party apps and transfer the data, isn't it? By the way, I have probably
the world's WORST handwriting, and the plucky but unintegrated Evernote Plus
still flawlessly captures my prose.

A tweaked handwriting recognition engine patched to work with office 2003
apps is surely possible and by the look of these posts, widely desired.

Regards

Richard
