You remind me of a Windows CE PDA I had in the late 90s through early 00s [0] that had a pen stylus and consistently amazed me that it could flawlessly interpret my scrawly scribbles perfectly - I'm hard to please but it always amazed me and I felt in awe.

My experience with every hand-writing recognition facility since has been it has got worse, more opinionated, and is probably tied too tightly to grammar and spell checking - rather like what I call "destructive texting" when predictive typing on mobile devices constantly auto-replaces words after I've typed them without me noticing until a message is sent!

[0] I still have it although not powered up in a couple of years!
