Re: what good is handwriting technology...?

Some of us have definite plans for it when it becomes truly functional. Our
office has to collect information in the field from high school students, in
letter perfect form. Many students are keyboard-shy - i.e., their error rate
keying is much higher than for handwriting. We have test data that says it is
as high as a factor of 5.

So bring on the pads and styli!
