I am a college student who is highly interested in learning languages. At
this current time, I am studying French and Chinese. I would like to know
if there is plug-ins or support available for using some of the
note-taking functions (such as written French word into text or a drawn
Chinese character into typed character). Does anybody know?

If you have an answer or solution to this, please email me at
melgirk******.com

Thanks,
Melissa

Perhaps the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 Recognizer Pack will assist
you:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
It includes: Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), U.S. English, U.K.
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish. If you
haven't already, I would suggest upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and
the Tablet PC Edition 2005 (included together) before installing the
recognizer pack.

This will help, but please note that the Chinese (and Japanese?)
recognizers do not allow recognition of free-text i.e. that just written
into a document surface like Journal. You have to work with the TIP in
those cases.
