Using the handwriting recognition program

The digitizer software quickly recognizes your handwriting because the automatic learning
tool collects data about the words you use and how you write them and stores the data
under your user profile.
You can also teach the digitizer your writing style. By entering several writing samples, you
"train" the digitizer to recognize your handwriting.
