The problem is the software --- there doesn't seem to be any decent opensource handwriting recognition software --- Cellwriter leaves a lot to be desired, and the one project which worked well required copying a DLL for HWR from Windows Vista.
To say nothing of Newton Intelligence and the wonderful note-taking and calendar and so forth.
It kills me that my Kindle Scribe is so limited compared to my Newton MessagePad.

My Boox Note 2 (which is somewhat old now, released late 2019) is much more fully featured, but again it still has mostly the same problem despite having full-fat Android at your stylus-tip; most of the software isn't made for this kind of user interaction. The software that is (the reader, the note-taking software, etc. that Boox wrote) is excellent. Which makes it all the more sad that there's so little that is written to take advantage of it.

- guestbest 3y agoThe people who developed the newton handwriting recognition went on to work with WinCe and it has been embedded in every device with a touch screen since at least wince 5 when they started calling it windows mobile. It must have been written in C++
