That's what I thought and read but I have tested it a bunch of times and it's
absolutely different. I input many hours of handwriting samples into TIP and
now TIP is very accurate. I write the some way in onenote and there are all
kinds of mistakes. I test it every which way and still it is not as accurate
as TIP... especially targeted specific recognition errors that I have
corrected using the TIP tool.
