Microsoft's Tablet PC: Reviving Handwriting
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

AnandTech has a review of FIC's Slatevision Tablet PC. The review covers the abilities of input programs and notes on construction and size. Here's a snip:
In this particular instance, the handwriting function of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition recognized 100% of the words correctly. It had questions about a few of the words (the ones in green) but in every case chose the correct word by default. On the whole, the text conversion worked properly a very high percentage of the time in our normal script, averaging at minimum a 98% accuracy or so.
We also decided to throw some horrible handwriting at the Tablet PC. We wrote another test page, this time in poor cursive that disregarded the lines of the paper (Microsoft suggests you write on the lines for maximum recognition accuracy). In this instance (shown below), the accuracy of the Journal translation went down to 91% (missed two words out of the twenty three). Staying on the lines would have likely increased accuracy a noticeable amount, although the poor handwriting is most likely to blame.

Very awesome. The text recognition blew me away.

That 'horrible' handwriting is a lot better than my normal writing. That's why I'll always prefer a keyboard to pen and paper (or stylus and screen, whatever).

Broken link, TR.
Anyways, from the snip, it looks like really good stuff, but I'm not about to throw away my pen and paper yet.  .

It's not broken for me, although it is very slow.
