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.

Of course this entire video is rendered slightly redundant by the fact that the OS X drivers for Wacom tablets also install "Bamboo Scribe" as an input option (Sys Pref/International/Input Menu) which completely replaces Inkwell's functionality and has excellent handwriting recognition that probably even surpasses the Tablet PC example here.

OS X users, do yourselves a favour: switch off Inkwell completely and use Bamboo Scribe instead.

To all those claiming that Inkwell somehow learns your handwriting style... how is this possible? When it makes a mistake, there is no opportunity to tell it what you were actually intending to write and, as good as Apple Macs are, they can't read your mind.

It's true; I'm the world's biggest Mac fanboy, but Inkwell really is abandonware that has been left to rot. What's particularly bad is the way in regular programs (like Word, Excel, Safari, Mail etc) you can't write anywhere in the active window - you have to write in an area outside the active window, which means you can usually only write one or two words at a time in a really cramped space. Obviously, if your app is filling the screen, you're completely stuffed.
