Math markup
in [Tablet PC]
|
From: Garrett Baird on 27 Jul 2005 18:16 Hello, Are there any engineers or mathematicians who use their tablet PC for taking notes? I would like to use my tablet to write equations in my notes. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Equation Writer only exports formulas to images, not to MathType, TeX, or MathML. Is there any other good software out there? I don't need something as fancy as MathJournal, since that does a lot of other stuff too (plotting, symbolic math), and I'm aware that optical formula recognition is really hard, but it would be nice if there were some way to make things easier than typing TeX and MathType markup. Thanks! GB

Could any one in Microsoft please clarify if in future it will support any export format other than just bitmap for math handwriting? Will Microsoft add this recognizer to the TabletPC SDK like the standard handwriting, gesture, and layout recognizers?

From: Chris H. on 1 Aug 2005 11:15 Microsoft never discusses future projects in the public, but you may want to ask your SDK question in the programmers newsgroup: microsoft.public.windows.tabletpc.developer where Stefen Wick of Microsoft may be able to give you a response. -- Chris H.

From: Hesse on 1 Aug 2005 20:14 Thanks Chris! Yes, I realize Microsoft does not discuss future projects in public. I was not meaning to pry but was just wondering if there was some public or beta information from Microsoft about future releases of these kinds of tools that I might have missed. I guess there is no such information. Thanks also for the hint about the other newsgroup.
