Yes, I customized an old version of that. Nice to know they finally updated it! (In my version, I had added the CTRL-key, adjustable height etc.)

No, it works differently: you learn how to draw the chars - it is a specific alphabet, very reasonable (<rant>and yet apparently covered by possibly absurd patents by rogues pre-dating the palm implementation</rant>). Take into account that it was developed by the great Jeff Hawkins in the mid nineties: it had to work on mobile equipment of that age! So, you learn how you should write (although the software recognizes a few variants of some letters, when relevant). I can tell you by experience, it is a good approach (although I have little experience with the new handwriting interpreters - not very interested, I am satisfied with the old good way). I mean: should you implement deep neural network trained on the MNIST database on a pocket thing because one may not be bothered to learn a reasonable convention?
