Windows 7 on Tablet PC
After getting all the drivers to work on my Windows 7 I finally got around to test the tablet pc capabilities a little more. Here's what I found.
First a warning: The English ISO does not include German or French handwriting recognition, only the English - I don't know why. The German ISO on the other hand does include the English, but not the French. My first tries were with the English build, but I changed to the German one. I don't have the Technet-Subscription I would need to get the Windows 7 language packs, if you'd like to share, contact me.
The Tablet Input
It only appears at the left border of the screen when you use the pen. If you use touchpad or mouse, it does neither appear nor fly out, even when you move the curser over the place it used to appear. When you have activated it, it remains transparent on the screen.
If you type with the keyboard, the text appears in the tablet input window too - at least in some places like the start menu. If there's already text in such a field, it is shown in the tablet input in a handwriting font.
If you write with the pen, the recognition writes the word in the handwriting font, as soon as it thinks you finished writing a word. If you were not finished and continue writing, the newly written letters are added to the recognized word.
Now if the word is not the one you intended, you tip it and get the correction input - you can change single characters and get knew proposals what the word might be.
The new correction modes are amazing, you get tips how to use it in the tablet input under the 
. You get correction (with a tip, as just shown), delete (stroke from right to left), split (vertikal stroke at the right position) and join (ark under the words beginning and end). There are small movies to explain how to do it if you click it.
The on screen keyboard looks a little different know, the "keys" are appart in an island look almost like Mac or Sony keyboards.
Shape Collector (Handschrifterkennungsanpassung)
It is now possible to "teach" the tablet your handwriting in other languages than english. You can either change the recognition of a single word that's always recognised wrong or teach the tablet your handwriting - which means you write 50 sentences that make more or less sense.
When you have finished, the new information is saved into the system and - if you choose so - sent to Microsoft to improve coming versions.
Snipping Tool
Quite handy, allows you to mark and cut a part of the screen freehand (or rectangular, circular), puts it in the clipboard, shows it and lets you save it.
