Albert..to add to the story. When I first got the digimemo and tried it out, then translated it and only got an inaccessible PDF image I was pretty disgusted, and that is putting it mildly....more research into this and I found the handwriting translation software. I installed it and when I copied that image and it made text and jaws talked it...I thought I had gone to heaven....it was and is that incredible. So the moral here is....make sure you get both--the tool AND the extra software--smile
