FWIW & just to add to WNewquay's info ... the Tablet PC 2004 update is currently in alpha, and the handwriting recognition is much improved. It has no problems with my rather messy scrawl.

This is the "light bulb moment" for many of us Tablet users. Keep Ink as Ink if at all possible.

Text recognition is getting better, but will never be perfect, and going through a document altering all the mis-recognitions is an utter pain.

The point being that the recognition works best in "search" mode, rather than translate mode.

If I write OTTER and make it look a bit like BUTTER, the text recongition will think "did he mean Otter or Butter ?" and make a guess. In ink-to-text the choice is crucial, it is all or nothing. In a search for BUTTER it might think "Ah, that word OTTER looks a bit like it" and give you the search return, but the very nature of a search is that you are picking relevant matches anyway, so the overhead of hitting Find Next is minimal.

You also might want to consider weight of the tablet. If she's having problems with her neck possible nerve problems in the cervical spine, (which is just a guess),holding something in her arm or carrying could aggravate.
