Digged around google for some more reviews which also cover the software:

My single characters matched 100% but the text only hit 78%, which was unacceptable according to the training system. I couldn't really find any way to correct the problems within the software so I re-wrote the pages (more than I really wanted to do). I was a little more careful with my penmanship on the second go-round and registered an 89% match, which was good enough to use.

We were able to create enough recognizable text for a handwriting-recognition "profile" on the first try (although our usual handwriting is a mix of printing and cursive that may be easier to recognize than true cursive writing). If the program has trouble with your samples, you can correct them on the PC. Once you have a handwriting recognition profile, MyScript converts your scrawls to computer text fairly quickly and accurately; except for consistently misinterpreting a capital I, it was close to letter-perfect in our tests.

Alas, The MyScript Notes system is not much better than the built-in ICR at recognizing even block text. It failed to recognize drawn boxes and circles, and in most cases the text was fully mangled in translation. It does come with training routines, but compared to the handwriting recognition in Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, the MyScript routines are not even in the ballpark.

To iRex's credit, I think Logitech is also just including the trial version of MyScript.
