Using a handwriting interface for text-entry would be foolish at best. I don't care whether you are a touch typist or not - it is simply too slow and requires to much screen space and presents a variety of other problems. Unless the interface improves upon keyboards (for example, editting of existing text or manuscripts - clearly a stylus/transp. tablet interface would be superior - again, chinese text entry is another example) for a particular application, it would seem too slow to be useful. > --Lambert Meertens, CWI, Amsterdam; lambert@cwi.nl By the way, perhaps I misunderstood you - but 10 words a minute??? What? Do you type with your toes...???...
