Speech

You can use your voice either to dictate or give commands. For example, you can dictate to your Tablet PC to enter text into a program. You can use voice commands to correct any errors, format text that you have dictated, save documents, switch between programs, move around within a program, or perform other actions to control any Windows-based program. As you speak into your microphone, Input Panel changes your spoken words into text.

Speaking to your computer is often easier and quicker than using your tablet pen to enter text. It may also be more comfortable, allowing you to rest your hands and wrists. You can also save thoughts or ideas immediately, before you forget them. You can use speech features and your tablet pen at the same time. Use the microphone to enter text, and then use the pen to correct and format the text.

Handwriting using Microsoft Windows Journal

Microsoft Windows Journal allows you to take notes in your own handwriting, just like on a piece of paper. You can later convert those notes to text if you wish or leave them as "ink." In either case, they're completely searchable. You can also create drawings or graphics that can be saved or sent to other applications from Windows Journal. You can even share journal files with non-Tablet PC users by exporting them as MHTML files, which others can view with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later, or by exporting them as TIFF images for viewing with a viewer that is installed by default on Microsoft Windows 98 or later.

How to access Windows Journal

To access Windows Journal, click on Start, All Programs, and Windows Journal.
