I have a question regarding handwriting recognition using a third party
product and OneNote 2003 on a
notebook computer NOT a Tablet.

I use an Addesso CyberPad to take notes during meetings, lectures,
hearings, etc. When I get back to the office I download the notes to my
notebook computer via a USB connection. I convert the ink notes to text
using MyScript handwriting recognition software. I would like to use OneNote
to convert the notes to text and also be able to search the text notes.

There is a third party software (BlueEuclid CyberConverter) that will export
the handwritten notes to ON. This is reasonable priced, so that is not a
problem. The problem is BlueEuclid says in their material, "If you are
planning on using the handwriting to text conversion abilities in OneNote,
you should know that Windows XP does not typicall ship with the libraries
needed for this. These must be downloaded and configured separtely."

My question is: Where can I find these libraries and information on
downloading and configuring them.

Does anyone out there have any experience using CyberPad, BlueEuclid
CyberConverter and ON?

Thanks,

mrMagic

First, the cavaet... I have not yet installed 2007, but had the same
wish for on2003 with respect to converting pocketpc ink notes files.

I have heard that on2007 now has that capability, so, that might be an
option for you... at least to find someone who has it and send them a
file....

following from http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/on...325701033.aspx

"Text recognition in pictures OneNote can recognize text contained in
images that you inserted in your notes. When you search your notebook
for names of people and places, OneNote displays images that contain the
text (for example, a scanned business card) in the search results list."

Beverly, I have no idea of what you think my question was and if you think
you answered it.

At the present I am interested in OneNote 2003 I am not interested in ON
2007. Can you be reply specific to ON 2003?

Second I mentioned a third party software that would export files into ON
2003 ink. You over looked that fact.

I also asked about the Windows XP libraries for handwriting recongition.
You did not address that issue.

If you do not have an answer, you should not offer an opinion, with or
without a caveat.

Thanks anyway,
mrMagic

I think that BlueEuclid is having a brain fart, they are probably
referring to the TIP and parts that are exclusive to the Tablet OS
(which does sit on top of XP). If you have OneNote on a tablet PC there
is nothing additional to install in order to interpret handwriting - it
even works in Journal without OneNote.

It might be possible to acheive what you are after by using the Tablet
SDK, but as it is I cannot say for certain. You can find it here:

After reading your other responses in this thread let me say this: This
is a response to the above statement, which I feel is misleading your
questions. I am not answering your question directly, which according
to this may be an incorrect line of thought. Bear in mind that people
read these newsgroups for information, and the paragraph above could
mislead them as well. That is, if you don't like the response please
just live with it or ignore it, as you see fit. Vaya con Dios.

my sincere apologies that the time and effort I expended to offer a
solution gave you pain and suffering... I suggest you set a filter on my
email address, since, in the forum context, the response may still be of
value to others.

It is my hope that others do not treat you as poorly as you treat those
around you.

hope you have a better day
