What is the best HANDWRITING RECOGNITION SOFTWARE ?

I am a writer by proffesion and have to type about 20 -30 pages of previously written ( on paper) material in MS WORD everyday. I must add that i am a very slow typer, is there any other option like using handwriting recognition software. Do DIGITAL PENS, PALMTOPS or TABLET PC's HELP???
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

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.

I am not aware that any even exists. OmniPage is very good. I use it every day but not on handwriting.

I use Dragon Naturally Speaking to read handwritten material. After three or four hours of getting acquainted with your voice, it is also very good. Not nearly as fast as OCR but LOTS faster than typing.

PS: Now is a good time to buy. Most of the software companies are offering large discounts. I also sell software and I know that software sales are very sensitive to slow economic conditions.

I visited the OMNIPAGE website but it does not say anything about handwriting recognition

You might be better off hiring someone to transcribe for you since you type slowly (I'd do it, haha; 90+ WPM here). Depending on your handwriting style, it will range from difficult to impossible to get an accurate read from completely automated software. You'd probably end up having to go back through it and fix a whole bunch of mistakes that it made.

I have found the one built into Windows (tablet edition) to be very good.

I've been using tablets for ten years now and continue to have success with Microsoft's built in stuff. I use MS OneNote.
