Steven Frank Reviews the Axiotron ModBook

Steven Frank on using Inkwell with the ModBook:

The recognition engine, based presumably on the print recognizer from NewtonOS 2.0 is quite good, but a bit behind the state of the art. It works best with long strides of dictionary words, and struggles with shorter words and shorthand. I never thought I’d say anything good about Windows Vista, but Vista’s handwriting recognition is much more adroit.
