I have my new tablet PC (which I’ve named Captain Darling), and l am highly surprised how excellent the text recognition works on Vista. And not only the text, it’s also the whole Aero interface: it lends itself to the pen. lt’s the whole UX. Windows flip 3D rocks with a pen!
My last experience with text recognition was attempting to learn that weird Palm graffiti system. Before that I attempted to yet that Apple Newton stuff working. And l haven’t trained the recognizer yet! The best part of the Newton environment was the programming language, Newtonscript. Dynamic, object oriented and very rich.
Now You ave probably thinking: you have to purchase a Tablet PC thing. Nope, just avail yourself of a WACOM tablet. Bingo. Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate becomes a Tablet PC.
