Handwriting Recognition

Having a TabletPC, I wrote a cairo-based note-taking application (that screenshot is really outdated) to be for university.

But there's still one thing that I really don't like: missing handwriting recognition. Everything's fine as long as one's using the note application and a PDF reader. Files can be opened completely without a keyboard, but not saved.

I have implemented a workaround to save files to "Notes from %date% %time%" so it's okay to save files just using the default name (no conflicts, names will tell you enough to find out about the content). But unfortunately, that solution doesn't scale. right now, I'm only writing my notes in the maths lessions, so it's easy to find out about the content by just looking at the date (as the time is always between 13:40 and 13:50).

I've seen some demostrations of Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition and some additional tools for that and I really need to say: there's a long way to go for us.

I'm going to set up a wiki about Free Software and TabletPCs to get a place where several people can work together to identify and fix lots of things for us.
