"the release of XP SP2 includes a FREE update to the Tablet PC OS, raising it to Tablet PC 2005 Edition. this update greatly improves the usability of Tablet PCs. shortly after that release, the Tablet SDK 1.7 was released to allow developers to create applications that take advantage of these improvements. of particular interest to me is the ability to do what is called 'Ink-in-IE', meaning you can ink within Internet Explorer. this is done by embedding a WinForm control <object/> that uses the Ink API. so that gives us the ability to ink on a web page ... to trick it up even more ... throw in Speech. you can do ink and speech on WinForms pretty easily. this is demonstrated in the /tabletStrator article. Ink is done with the Tablet API and Speech is done through a COM wrapper of SAPI. for the web, you cannot use SAPI, so Speech is done through the Speech SDK and an extension to IE called the Speech add-in for Internet Explorer. to that end, this article will show how to do ink and speech on a web page! also to remind people that i used to be a Tablet MVP :) are there any Speech MVPs?"
