PDA with handwriting recognition

[herkulease]

None of the other forums seem to fit so...

Does such a PDA exist?

I tried PDAs years ago during the tech boom and simply couldn't do the whole palm OS writing style.(the strokes) Almost ten years have gone by and xp tablet has been the only thing I know of that offer such a feature that and the game brain age for the nintendo ds. which can recognized my somewhat slop numbers.

I'm hoping to get one to organized things but I need something better than the input that palm offered.

Every single one should offer it.

He's kidding right????

 

[herkulease]

why would I be kidding?

I haven't touched a PDA for nearly 10 years.

I can't do the wierd strokes that the palm pilots had years ago. So I never looked into them all this time.

For at least several years now, Microsoft has had this nice Powertoy of sorts for Windows Mobile, called Transcriber, it replaces the keyboard/stroke-boxes so you can write anywhere on the screen. I think that it's exactly what you're thinking of, and I've been using it on various PDAs for the last five years.

"Accurately" depends on the user. I've yet to find a PDA that can figure out what I'm trying to write. So... I made friends with Palm strokes.

i discovered that if i write at an angle, itll be horribly inaccurate. if i stick to writing close to the axes, it picks up really really well

All Pocket PCs have handwriting recognition, no need to learn the special palm writing style... Go to your local BB and give it a try...

No. You have to use a 105 key USB keyboard. The only PDA compatible KB out right now is made from pure lead.
