inkBook lets you use a tablet and InkWell handwriting recognition technology to write notes by hand. The notes remain as handwritten ink, but can be searched, copied to other applications, and exported to a text file.
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />exercise a little patience with Ink and this product works GREAT. printing is not supported very well, but functions. the glitches with Ink are actually Apple's fault, and hopefully apple will make Ink more robust. (issue is basically that multiple API calls to ink, immediately after each other, sometimes causes the Ink service to break the connection to Inkbook. this happens when Ink is parsing a previous pen stroke, and you begin a new stroke before it is done parsing.)
inkBook is looking good!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Forget about the complaints in my earlier post (see below.) In addition, I owe an apology to the developer who had left me a friendly, helpful comment which I did not get because I never came back to this VT page. Now, inkBook more than fulfills its earlier promise. With a Wacom tablet, it works very well and even though script is not recommended, it did quite a good job picking up on my scrawl. On block lettering, it amazingly recognized everything I threw at it (a bunch.) I am impressed with the growth of this application and the developer's dedication to it. I hope we will see inkBook continue to grow. I'm ducking out of here to send my $20.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Well, the application launches an looks nice. But on my MDD Dual 867 with an Intuous 6x8 tablet all I can do is make selection marquees. The brush and pencil buttons change the cursor but do NOT change the behavior of the cursor. I can't write anything.... jsut make grey boxes as I drag the stylus around. This is a good idea, if it works. I realize this is an alpha so.. I'll give 3 stars for potential, but it really does nothing more than launch and display the notebook window. Yes, I tried all tools and all variations of the tools.
