| ANN: Review of PhatWare's CalliGrapher 8.4 Today Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! has released our latest review on PhatWare's CalliGrapher 8.4 In July 2001, PhatWare released CalliGrapher 6.0, a product which allowed a whole new way of inputting information into Palm PC and Pocket PC devices. Over the past four years, CalliGrapher has matured into the leading input application available for Windows Mobile devices. *With its low training requirements and accuracy, CalliGrapher rapidly placed itself head and shoulders above other applications in the field.* With the release of version 8.0, PhatWare had once again taken a top-of-the-line product and managed to improve it. * Now PhatWare has updated CalliGrapher to version 8.4 and the improvements and enhancement that make this a great time to purchase or upgrade. While the fundamental elements of the application have not changed - Soft Input Panels – or SIP - Write Anywhere and Write Pad, complete compatibility with Windows Mobile 5.0, a new color ink pad for ink color in Word Pad, movable ink, the CalliGrapher Statistical Analyzer (which will be covered in detail in this review), and Write Pad Log files, the enhancements to 8.4 are significant if not glaringly obvious. Perhaps the biggest improvement has come in the Digital Ink Filler which compensates for irregularities in your touch screen. This is a tremendous and significant improvement for those who have screen protectors on your device, especially when in the Write Pad mode! Other enhancements include the option for you to hide or show the Write Anywhere or Write Pad icon on the today screen, selectable text gestures in Write Pad and general, under-the-hood performance gains.

I was long skeptical of the usefulness of Calligrapher, especially since I'm a Fitaly user. However, I decided to give Calligrapher 8.2 a shot and I was blown away at how much better it is than the built-in Transcriber and bought it after the trial period. While I still find Fitaly to be the hands-down fastest method of input on devices without a slide-out keyboard, Calligrapher is excellent and I do use it for short data input. And it just keeps getting better and better with each update. For those who don't want to battle the learning curve of something like Fitaly, Calligrapher is highly recommended. Don |

| Re: ANN: Review of PhatWare's CalliGrapher 8.4 Thanks Don for reading the review and your comments. The thing that blew me away on 8.4 was the Digital Ink Filter which helps with older, worn screens or screen protected devices. My recognition rate is darn near 100% now - and it was high 90s before. Very impressive. Fitaly is fast no question - I just think the learning curve is a bit steep and you seem to agree.
