Graffiti has been used on tablets a few times and IMHO it is better than some of the Microsoft efforts, but it requires the user to adapt to a strict set of special strokes when writing. Fine, but let me put it to you this way.
Newton 2 devices could read doctors’ handwriting and my signature correctly. Written in cursive, exactly as if on paper.
No general purpose recognizer intended for use by the general public has been able to do that before or since.
Well what are they waiting for lol
Actually one of the very cool things about my E2 beyond handwriting recognition (granted you have to print) that would type the letters as you wrote them (instantaneously) was it had a “notepad” that you could write/draw on just like a piece of paper. Very handy for drawing diagrams or jotting quick notes. Imagine if you had a device with internet you could send such notes to someone, even your home pc for instance.
