Tablet PC

SmartDraw 8.1 supports pen computing with both ink and handwriting recognition.

SmartDraw brings a whole new dimension to Tablet PC's allowing you to take notes graphically on the go. Using the pen you can stamp shapes and draw lines onto the page just as you do with a mouse, then you can annotate them with ink and enter text with handwriting.

The ink can show on any PC, even those not running a pen-enabled OS, and there is a full compliment of choices for inking.
