• Office Ink – lets you create digital signatures in almost any application.
• riteMail – can read CyberPad document files to transferring your handwriting to text. It supports and recognizes 4 languages; English, French, German, and Russian.
To run Adesso CyberPad you need a Pentium II or higher computer that runs Windows Vista, XP, or 2000, 128 MB of Ram or more, at least 32MB of hard-drive space, and a USB port.
So how does the Adesso CyberPad work? The two main areas that I worked with were the note taking and the graphics tablet. From my stand point, that is why I would want this product. I played with the handwriting recognition software a little bit, but you have to train it to recognize how you make letters. From my point of view I can type faster than I can write, so if it is something that need in that format, I would type it.
Notes on the other hand, are very easy to work with. Basically, you turn the tablet on, select a page and start writing. The organizational structure is such that you can have up to 26 directories (a thru z) and up to 99 pages within each of those directories. A lot of this depends on memory. The system itself comes with 32 MB of on board storage, but you can add an SD card for more space. So realistically, you could take this to a conference, make notes all week and come home, download them and have an online record of everything you wrote. It works really well even through a tablet of paper that contains 100 sheets of paper or more.
The second thing that I wanted to look at this for is the graphics tablet. The first thing you have to do is turn it 90 degrees so that it is landscape mode with the function buttons at the top. Next you may want to save the first ink cartridge that runs out since when working with a graphics tablet, since you don't need to spread ink on a page, but you do need to use the pen. I worked with it using Photoshop and in my opinion it worked pretty well. As with any graphics tablet you have to get used to the differences between it and a mouse, but it faired well.
