There are very few operations that you have to use the stylus for - remember that there is a version of the machine available without the touch screen! Pretty much everything can be done using the buttons. The only operation I've found for which you have to use the stylus is dictionary lookup, and there may be a "button" interface for that which I've not come across.

All in all, an excellent machine.


I didnīt realize that the DR1000 came in with or ithout the touch screen, is that model cheaper than thee one with the touch screen?
(not that im all that interestedd in one without a TS)

Iīm continuing my search for a DR that is somewhat more 'afordable' than a brand new one for 800.00ish usd. and then you need to buy a case/cover for it
