Just as the Subject line says, my TIP originally showed the auto character
recognition underneath the line while I was writing. Once I changed a
couple of settings, though, it stopped and I can't get it to come back. Any
advice is appreciated.

Try going into Control Panel/Regional and Language Options, then select the
Details button. In the Default input language, make sure your proper
language is selected. Then tap the Advanced tab. Select Apply all settings
to the current user account and to the default user profile check box,
followed by OK, Apply and OK again.

Make sure to restart your Tablet PC after making the changes.

When you change into a language unsupported by current handwriting
recognition, handwriting recognition simply won't work. It happens to me
a lot in Hebrew mode, and I have no complaints (besides waiting for RTL
language support, some day).

The problem Christopher describes happened to me once, when I set the
TIP to send the text after a delay (without waiting for the "insert"
button).

Needless to say, I gave out that option. Instead, I set the TIP to
select insert (and also open the TIP) by just hovering (rather than
pressing) and it has been serving me well ever since.

Avner.

Hi Christopher,

Did you turn on "Automatically insert text after a pause"? If so, then you
won't get the recognition results below the writing line. For more info,
please see this KB article:

875360 The recognition results and the correction option are unavailable in
Windows XP Tablet PC Input Panel
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875360

Thanks!

Egad! That was exactly the problem! How interesting. Nice to have the little
recognition boxes back again. Is this planned behavior or is it a bug?

Sounds like behavior by design to me. If text is to be inserted after a
pause, then how are you supposed to correct it?

As the Knowledge Base article says, "The recognition results and the
correction option are not available when the Automatically insert text after
a pause check box is selected on the Writing Pad tab. Additionally, if the
Automatically insert individual characters after a pause check box is
selected, the recognition results and the correction option do not appear
when you enter single characters in Tablet PC Input Panel."

That is the design of the panel. If the user selects to automatically enter
the text, then the option to double-check the words prior to Insert is
removed. I suggest removing the timed auto insertion and setting the action
of the Insert button to either the Tap or Point method.
