<DIV><BR></DIV>I read that part of the reason that these kinds of devices
work, and can do OCR on hand-writing is that they also track, and
know in what order you do the strokes of writing. This helps them
decide what letters you are drawing. With a system that only has an
image of writing, it is apparently much more difficult to figure out,
hence no one does it yet.<BR><BR>Dave<BR><BR>\At 08:37 AM 9/23/2011, you

<DD>Albert..to add to the story. When I first got the digimemo and
tried it out,<BR>
<DD>then translated it and only got an inaccessible PDF image I was
pretty<BR>
<DD>disgusted, and that is putting it mildly....more research into
this and I<BR>
<DD>found the handwriting translation software. I installed it and
when I copied<BR>
<DD>that image and it made text and jaws talked it...I thought I had

Digital Handwritten Notes. it sounds like an<BR>
<DD> oxymoron...kind<BR>
<DD>
of like a hairy bald guy, but it is here.<BR>
<DD>
<BR>
<DD>
The writing surface is about the size of a small<BR>
<DD>piece<BR>
<DD> of<BR>
<DD>
paper. The whole board is light and easy to carry and about<BR>
<DD>the<BR>
<DD> size<BR>
<DD> of an<BR>
<DD>
8x11 piece of paper. It is a tiny computer and you can add<BR>
<DD>more<BR>
<DD> RAM-<BR>
<DD> with a<BR>
<DD>
memory card. <BR>
<DD>
<BR>
<DD>
The blind student can take the digital note-taking<BR>
<DD> device to<BR>
<DD>
a class where the teacher is very driven by writing on the<BR>
<DD> board.<BR>
<DD> The blind<BR>
<DD>
student hands it to a sighted student and she takes notes on<BR>
<DD>it.<BR>
<DD> At<BR>
<DD> the end<BR>
<DD>
of class, the sighted student rips off the pages for<BR>
<DD>themself<BR>
<DD> and<BR>
<DD> hands the<BR>
<DD>
board back to the blind student. The blind student can then<BR>
<DD> download<BR>
<DD> all the<BR>
<DD>
notes onto the computer. In tangent with this is a<BR>
<DD>handwriting<BR>
<DD> recognition<BR>
<DD>
tool, which translates the handwriting into digital text<BR>
<DD>that<BR>
<DD> talking<BR>
<DD>
software can read. Note taking made easy.<BR>
<DD>
<BR>
<DD>
This is the one I have been using and as long as the<BR>
<DD>
handwritten notes are legible, the pad can read it to the<BR>
<DD> computer.<BR>
