So far, I've been fairly impressed by the handwriting recognition software of the new 2.1.1 Onyx firmware. Although I've got fairly messy handwriting, it has miraculously been able to decipher everything I have thrown at it so far.
Of course, one would still have to go through the resulting text to ensure that punctuation, paragraph breaks and the like were all where they were needed. Also, I've noticed that sometimes two separate words will get rendered as one word... Still, I have been impressed.
Even for taking notes in a lecture, such a function can be very useful.
Studies have apparently shown that those who take notes by hand have a better recall of the information afterwards... Using such software, one could have the best of both worlds. One would reap the benefits gained from taking notes by hand, but would then have searchable notes which one could easily manipulate and share with others.
