I believe some 'tablets' will convert handwriting to text, just wondering any software for PC at all?
Thx

Errr, how does the PC obtain the handwriting to turn into text?0

Yep, in fact it is built into some windows machines (vista onwards I think). It sounds great, but you need very clear handwriting or spend all your time going back correcting!0

It's available for XP too: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3069060 -
I can't see that a Mac graphics tablet would be much use on a PC!
And moving a mouse pointer around to form characters is hardly 'handwriting'.
So my question to the OP remains, how does the PC obtain the handwriting to turn into text?0 -

No, John Gray, I don't suppose you can.
Forgive me for having presumed, from the persistency with which you patronise everybody else, that you, yourself, had at least a minute degree of intelligence.
To input handwriting, you use a Wacom tablet and a stylus.
On a Mac, you process it with Inkwell.
If you have the misfortune to be using Windows, and can't work out how to use Google, you do this.
Now, do you need a diagram of how to find your own backside with the aid of both hands and a torch? :huh:Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance

Hi yes I was referring to a similar tablet

I hope you feel better now.No, John Gray, I don't suppose you can. <snip>
If the requirements are well stated in the original post then accurate answers can be given.
Here's an extremely lengthy (and no doubt patronising) article about this topic.
