<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,

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