HANDWRITING RECOGNITION Because nothing replaces the feel of working with a pen-in-hand, now both Windows Vista and Mac Inkwell offer powerful handwriting recognition tools that can convert your handwriting into typed text.

DRAWING With the natural feel of pen-on-paper, bring your ideas to life by drawing, sketching, and illustrating with your pen tablet. Use the pressure-sensitive pen to vary line thickness, add shading and to easily change color. With 512 levels of pressure sensitivity in the pen tip, you get precise pen control to make your masterpiece. NOTE TAKING Express yourself. Jot notes, handwrite email, sign your name, mark up documents, and enter handwritten text anywhere typed text is accepted.
