<div>Wow, I just reread my post and didn't realize how many typos Iincluded <ha ha> was multi-tasking</div>

<div>Another comment - The myscript software requires a pen (Pulse Scriptwriter) that costs $199.00 while the Fly Fusion pen is in the $59.00 range-a special allowed my purchase to be 39.00 including postage and handling !!! Bargain for me!. The one thing that I see as a large difference between the two pens is the recordability option in the Pulse Scriptwriter which is not available in the Fly Fusion.</div>

<br>Before we engage on more manual attempts at converting this to e-text or a digital recording, does anyone have any software suggestions, tips/tricks, or processes that might work on fairly neat handwriting?
