Handwriting in Vista Journal with a Bamboo

[Mclovin101999]

i cant find journal when i searched for it.

[riberg]

Which Operating System are you using? It has to be Vista or 7 Home Premium and above.

Rich

[Mclovin101999]

@riberg its vista

[riberg]

As long as you have Vista Home Premium then you should find it when you type Journal into the Search.

If you have Vista Home Basic then you don't have the Journal - it is a Microsoft thing.

Rich

[riberg]

Go to search and type in Journal.

That will get you going ...

i just got the bamboo pen&touch for christmas. but i dont have vista i have xp and i cant change. but is there a journal i can use for xp?

thanks

[riberg]

As far as I know there is no Journal for XP. That is what I have and I have never found one.

You might check out One Note from Microsoft - perhaps they have a download.

@riberg Hi Rich, just to clarify: I have a Windows XP Tablet Edition, and it has Journal; I'm quite sure it's a Tablet Edition specific software at the XP level, so it's not entirely correct that "XP" doesn't have it. "XP Home" and "XP Pro" do not have it, but "XP Tablet Edition" will have it ;).

[riberg]

I really should be more clear - the "ordinary" XP does not have a Journal but the tablet edition does. It has One Note as well, doesn't it?

Sorry for the confusion ...

Rich

[athletics365]

also how would i be able to download Journal?

[riberg]

If you have Vista Premium it is included in the Operating System.

If not - maybe you can download a trial from Microsoft.

Good luck ...

Rich

[athletics365]

what software do u use to record your screen like that? ive seen it a lot..

[riberg]

It is Camtasia Studio - a really good screen recorder ...

Rich

[ulquirathebatespada]

that was prettty accurate might get one :)

[Shad12Dash]

flags r probly just to point out stuff....mabe bulletins

[riberg]

I guess - weird isn't it?

Rich

[rodcatsmedia]

Pretty green flag... I have no clue why that would be there :D Very funny.

Nice video! Keep up the awesome work!

[demonqueenzeo]

Can you transfer handwriting to formal print with an intuos 3?

[riberg]

Yes if you are in the Tablet Input Panel. You need some program (like Word or Wordperfect or Works) to accept the input.

If you are in the Journal you cannot turn handwriting into text because Microsoft does not allow that to happen. The only place it will work is if you have an actual Tablet PC and One Note.

Rich

[Horsesrock0123]

What program do you use for filming your videos?

[riberg]

I use Camtasia Studio from Tech Smith - it is really good but not free.

There is a pretty good free one called CamStudio you might want to try.

Rich

[alienowlpost]

hey just wondering. . .

does it work with writing different languages such as japanese?

[zigaloooo]

sweet voice :)

[riberg]

Well thanks!

Rich

[wlkr1024]

flags are for note taking i think

[riberg]

Thanks ...

Sheesh - it took over a year for someone to provide an answer to that question.

Rich

[interfaceman]

dude are you using mouse to do all these stuff.. bytheway.. your hand writing is fucked. visa must have hard time recogniziing what you are writing..he..he

[riberg]

Not using no stinkin mouse. My writing, does indeed, suck and I was doing it on a laptop.

Rich

[incendiodiligo]

Dude

his handwriting is really good!

[riberg]

I see you can recognize quality when you see it ..

Rich

Hi Rich.. I'm planning to buy Wacom Bamboo for writing notes and diagrams etc. Is that a good tablet?

[riberg]

It's a great tablet and will do exactly what you want - by the way - what O/S are you running?

Rich

[jind604]

I'll be using it for writing my school notes and some diagrams. I'm running Vista Premium.

[riberg]

It'll work perfectly and make sure you install the Bamboo drivers. They set the whole thing in motion.

Good luck ...

Rich

[AnandaShake]

does it work for an XP windows?

i hate office vista = S

[AnandaShake]

and, can i use the tablet 4 example at school, without a laptop, and then pass the info, or they had to be connected???

[riberg]

XP has handwriting recognition but it is difficult to use. Vista Premium has a much better module.

The tablet has to be connected to a computer to work. It is not a stand alone device that will capture input for later.

Rich

[amiterisu]

yep :)

[amiterisu]

I didnt even know this system was on vista,now if only I could improve my hand writing XD it looks like chicken scratch.The flags are probably just there version of clip art I'm guessing.

[riberg]

Yup - and the flags are darn pretty, don't you think?

[Ulrock7777]

how do u write on the internet? it says it'll work where text is excepted, but i don't know how to do it :(

[riberg]

Well - you can use the pen and tablet in Messenger and perhaps in other IM's.

Is that what you mean?

Rich

[Ulrock7777]

well, i mean how do u use the writing recognition thingy on the internet, IM etc. i don't know how, but i tihnk it's possible. is it?

[riberg]

I don't know if you can use the handwriting recognition with an IM>

I know you can write messages in Messenger by choosing the pen in the Messenger screen.

If you have Windows Vista Premium (at least) then you can try it out - it is not something I have used because I am still on XP.

I have used the pen input with Messenger and it works fine - it simply sends exactly what you write.

Rich

[riberg]

I am reasonably certain you cannot enter information on a web page with the pen and tablet - but again - I have not tried it.

Oh, and also, will the Bamboo standard work with photoshop CS3?

Thank you

[riberg]

The difference between the Bamboo and Bamboo Fun is that the bamboo does not have the Graphics software or mouse and the eraser is not pressure sensitive. There is a slight difference in appearance as well.

The lack of a pressure sensitive eraser is not a big deal (my opinion) because Photoshop has a goofy eraser.

The Bamboo will work with your CS3 and Painter and any Graphics program.

Have fun - the standard Bamboo will do what you want ...

[Niloy135790]

Thanks a lot sir, looking forward to more of your bamboo related videos :D (you know why now)

[riberg]

Just so you know - all of my videos tutorials will work with the Bamboo and the Bamboo Fun.

R

[Niloy135790]

Sir, i absolutely love your works and tutorials, and i must tell you, your works are incredible. You actually made me get a bamboo. I was just wondering, i bought a bamboo small (not the fun). So my question to you was, is the only difference between Bamboo and Bamboo fun the software? because i have PHotoshop CS3.

Thank you
