Title: Promising, but buggy and clunky
This is truly amazing, that 500,000 Wikipedia abstracts fit in my pen! It is pretty good at recognizing my messy handwriting in a few seconds. But if it gets it wrong, there needs to be a way to fix it other than re-write the word. Like just tap on the wrong letter and write it again below that. Most annoying is that it seems to ignore user navigation commands when scrolling out a line, and then it repeats that line. So to get to the next line is not easy. And how do you exit out of this app? It ignores my left-arrow commands. When I turned off the pen to get out of it, it would not turn back on! I had to plug and unplug the USB cable a few times to un-brick the pen. Scary. With some improvements to the user interface, this will be fantastic.
