Did you mean your comments (about there being no way to reliably recognize arbitray script/text w/o training) to apply to OCR *and* the pen-mouse systems, or just OCR? I suspect just to OCR, because there have been several pretty successful 'handwriting' recognition systems available for over a year now…. I played with, for about 3/4 an hour, one of them. at a trade show. PC based technology. The entire computer looked like a 8.5×11 notebook, with a flat screen LCD pad covering one side. It was running several custom apps, as well as a dBase interface. It recognized my 'printing' right off the bat with probably 95% accuracy, and by the time I was finished it was close to 100% (ie. I trained myself to 'print' more precisely). Lots of others used it easily too. All in all, I was very impressed. Sure would love to have a machine like that with Amiga hardware! –jp–seattle–
