I am so impressed how well the transcriber feature works. It is almost 100%

Yes, I know! It is second best of having a keyboard! It totally beats Palm's input methods. Especially considering transcriber is built in! The only letter it ALWAYS has trouble with is M. It makes it into a N if I don't put 4 humps instead of 3. I've tried adjusting with the letter setting things, but it still does it.

yes i love the transcriber. Just don't try to use it with dotpocket :( It won't work correctly (it doesn't switch horizontally - it's weird)

How well does it work in SE's native landscape mode?

Yes, it works great in landscape. It's nice because when you switch to landscape, transcriber automatically switches it's writing direction. :D

I prefer Transcriber too to other input methods but just can't get it to stay default input. Tried the registry tweak but it rendered me unfunctional and I had to do a hard reset and restore my previous backup.

I like transcriber, but I sure wish it would stop writing web and email addresses as: Http://www.aximsite. com or who@where. com.

Does the transcriber learn your personal handwriting or have it's own little system?

It has its own little system, but if you draw a letter a certain way, you can "train" it to recoginize your letter for what it should be.

What's this training consist of? A little "Here's my 'A' and 'a'" where you draw it in a box and tell it "thats it" or does it sorta do it after a long time?

You know what?

I may have opened my trap way too early. As I look at the process more closely, you can indeed train the transcriber, only the training you do is to eliminate the ways in which you don't draw a character. For example, it presents you of three different ways to draw the capital letter 'A' and five ways to draw the lower case 'a'. You can then rate how often you draw the letter in each example.

My bad if I gave you false hope.

My handwriting is a cousin of Sandscript so I use Tengo. Once you get the hang of it there is nothing faster.

i use letter recognizer, i just wish it was more compact and took up less screenarea. the transcriber, although accurate, is pretty hard to use when something IS spelled wrong. i also dont like how sometimes, on webpages it starts detecting writing instead of you clicking on a link or a scrollbar or whatever.
