A few years back, some company made the Pencept system, which used a digitizing tablet and special software to recognize hand PRINTING. I don't know whether this is what you mean by "handwriting". The system could just about keep up with a moderate hand printing speed. Systems were available for PC's, as well as minicomputer systems using the RS232 interface. Today, a similar device called Handwriter is made by Communication Intelligence Corp, in Menlo Park, CA. -- David Robins, M.D. (ophthalmologist / electronics engineer) The Smith-Kettlewell Institute of Visual Science, *** net: uunet!skivs!dr 2232 Webster St, San Francisco CA 94115 *** 415/561-1705 (voice) The opinions expressed herein do not reflect the opinion of the Institute!
