PC slate uses Calligrapher 6.0, a handwriting recognition software.

CalliGrapher® 6.0 adds natural handwriting recognition capability to your Microsoft Windows-powered Pocket PC, Palm-size PC or Handheld PC Professional for all handwriting styles -- cursive, print or mixed. 
CalliGrapher analyzes pen strokes written in any application window, converts the pen strokes into text and sends the recognized text to a target application. Employing advanced fuzzy logic and neural net techniques; CalliGrapher recognizes arbitrary alphanumeric strings as well as words from its integrated dictionary. 
CalliGrapher also offers a comprehensive spell checker for all applications on your mobile device. The new version also includes a new utility - PenCommander - that allows users to create and execute command scripts by simply writing a word command and drawing a circle around it. CalliGrapher gives you the freedom to enter information quickly and efficiently into your mobile device. You can find the detailed information about CalliGrapher in the User's Guide.

Tips to increase the recognition quality

• You will have the best recognition quality when using the default letter shape settings. Disabling too many shapes will decrease the recognition quality. There is only one reason to disable a certain shape of a certain letter, which is if calligrapher recognizes this letter incorrectly because you wrote its shape similar to another letter. For example, if your "o" is recognized as "u" you can try to disable some shapes for "o" or for "u" or for both. However, if you disable too many shapes you will decrease the recognition quality.
• When you click on the selected shape in LSE it will redraw the letter showing the direction in which you should move your pen. The direction of the pen strokes is as important as the shape.
• Try to write bigger characters. The minimum recommended size of your handwritten characters should be equivalent to size 16 (or bigger) of the Tahoma font (To get an idea how big it is, run the Pocket Word, select the Tahoma, size 16 font and write “something”).
• Upper case characters should be at least twice as big (or bigger) as the lower case characters.
