Personalize Vista's Handwriting Recognition
 
Windows Vista offers not only sophisticated handwriting recognition technology but also the ability to personalize the system's handwriting recognition to your own handwriting style and vocabulary. Vista employs two methods to learn your handwriting, the "Automatic Learning" feature and the "Personalize handwriting recognition" tool. As Vista gathers information about your handwriting style and the vocabulary you use frequently, common handwriting recognition errors will quickly disappear. You’ll be able to input text anywhere no matter how messy your handwriting may be!
 
Automatic learning collects data about the words you use and how you write them as you begin using your pen to input text into word processing documents, browser address bars, and any other field where text is entered.
