I've been using a tablet and Microsoft's Tablet OS (XP and Vista for Tablets) for 5-8 years now. It does pretty well recognizing my "doctor's handwriting" pretty well. I have to take notes for my profession, and it does a good job.

I've found out, though, that I don't always have to convert. Sometimes I just leave the handwritten notes (using MS OneNote) in their raw form.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

OneNote 2007 - Sure enough. Searches you handwritten notes.

But then you can't search them? Correct?

I currently use an Asus R1F with Microsoft Vista for business. Like Dr. Matt, I truly believe that part of the magic of using a Tablet is to use Microsoft One Note with it. In my line of work where I'm constantly handwriting and drawing out thoughts, it's very useful. I like the ability to then send a handwritten note to my colleabues when I'm done. A good site to check out is http://www.tabletpcreview.com They have a lot of good information and an active forum there.
