We all know how handwriting recognition falls down (and rightly so) when entering non-standard words like URLs, serial numbers, or other information like this. A question for Tablet PC gurus wherever you might be- why can’t Microsoft (or a third party utility developer) make a routine that "toggles off" recognition via a button so that the HWR engine simply passes entered characters. Kind of a character recognition versus a word recognition. This would sure make my life a lot easier and prevent switching back and forth from the standard HWR pad to one of the other two. Or maybe there’s already a way to do this that I’m just missing?
