  • bloody joke, why are you people never consistant, this is my first ever you tube comment. i just purchased a wacom tablet and tryin to decide between which OS is better, at least plug your wacom into your PC, ffs! no comment was relevant until you have your constant.

  • @ilozeet

    It would have been nice to do equal footing test but I had no access to an Axiotron Mac slate at the time of the video. This can be remedied now since a friend of mine has one now. So expect a follow up video soon with Windows 7 U vs Lion (or Snow Leopard, depending on what he has installed).

  • @Shogmaster *sigh, i'm disappointed that this, is my second you tube comment, my first being above. The idea of these clips is to inform and educate, where possible provide a conclusion... at speed.

    Am i missing a point or is your wacom tablet allergic to you windows box? where is the constant that makes the 'experiment' fair?

  • @ilozeet

    I think you are getting sidetracked from the point. The point is to compare how the two OSes deal with handwriting recognition, not how they deal with a Wacom tablet. Even if I did connect the same Wacom tablet to my TPC, the results would have been similar. Also "speed" is not the issue, but rather, accuracy. Neither is where the Wacom is connected (inside as in my Tablet PC, or outside as in the Mac).

  • ok.. did you have to train the Windows tablet with your handwriting or did it get that good from a cold start? I remember using a tablet PC a few years ago... bout 2 or 3 and the HW recog did not work for me at all, not even simple stuff. secondly... is the MS machine using a neural net? am curious

  • At the time of the video, the TPC was a new install, and so there was no training done. I don't think I turned it on even.

    You have to go through a paragraph "training" process when you start. I skipped it before I did this video.

  • i've checked microsoft's handwrite recognition with a mouse, using my right hand (i'm a lefty), and it still got it right and very fast (win7). and i have the general handwriting style of a caveman. so it's quite an achievement.

    just too bad it doesn't have support for my language.

    anyway, if apple is still this behind in handwriting recognition...

  • that's fucking impressive. I shall have to try MS's handwriting recog again.
