[LUG] Graphics tablets, Handwriting recognition

 

Wife wants to be able to handwrite on pdfs, word files etc and then print
the amended document. Handwriting recognition would be a plus.

Neither ipad nor android has handwriting recognition that I could find,
that leaves windows but..

Two questions

1)  Has anyone used a graphics tablet for handwriting recognition with
    Windows (I gather that as long as you buy a graphics tablet eg Wacom
    then windows 7 comes with the software built in for handwriting
    recognition) etc

    http://www.the-graphics-tablet.com/handwriting-recognition.html
    
    (I presume you can print to pdf and email the completed document)

2)  Has anyone used a graphics tablet with Ubuntu / android for handwriting
    recognition?

    http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxwacom/

She is happy with a five year old tablet pc but it weighs a ton and would
prefer open source

I've looked at www.evernote.com but that seems to require special paper for
handwriting recognition

There are web articles that state that if you run a wacom tablet on any
windows 7 machine then handwriting recognition comes free: but there do not
appear to be any shops around here..

Any help much appreciated
