Thank all of you for your input. I also did a quick look at Wikipedia.
I remember well the PDAs and their pen inputs.
I also have a Watcom pad that I bought some years ago to try some drawing on.
The problem is these methods, the machines, and the software, all have problems rendering regular cursive handwriting into digital text.
Sure individual letters or printing will work, and you can train the machine (software) but nothing yet where you can just write notes on a card in cursive, or for that matter, real fast which means it is kind of sloppy, printing and then run the card through a scanner, and produce neat digital output.
You can do better with speaking into a HTC text to message converter or I guess the new Siri converter. It is a problem though taking notes by speaking into a recorder in public or in a place where there is a lot of noise or you might bother people.
Still I keep a watchful eye out, and probably will try some of the newest products soon.
