One of the common complaints people have had with tablets is that the recognition engine isn’t “trainable” – that is, it won’t adapt to your writing style. You have to adapt to the preprogrammed style in the areas you have issues. But other than the lower case K, I had none of those feelings with this app. It seemed more than happy to accept my illegible scrawl as something legitimate – if only my grade school teachers had felt the same...

A few days after I started testing the program, I was emailed a link to an updated recognition DLL. But I didn’t notice any difference, since my experience with recognition had been so positive. It still couldn’t recognize my lower case K, but I’ve become accustomed to doing the letter K in cursive now for this program. We’ll see in later versions if that letter’s recognition is improved. I’ve asked if there’s a more updated version of that dll, but haven’t heard back yet.

Besides the K issue, I’ve only had a couple problems using the program. When I fire it up for the initial time during a work session with it, I have a tendency to use the letter X as my multiplication symbol, rather than the asterisk the program recognizes (basically an X with a line either vertically or horizontally through it, user’s choice). It usually takes me two or three times to realize it’s not recognizing the input because of my own stupidity. After that reminder, writing the symbol it will recognize is automatic.
