Dave, a quadriplegic, tests out a Tablet PC

Click above for an interesting and informative review of how one user accesses a Tablet PC - without the use of his hands! He uses a mouthstick , attaches the TAblet Pen and explains how he inputs data.

I'm working on this method myself and will let you know how it goes. Tablet PC's have voice recognition as well as handwriting recognition and, although the reports are mixed on the quality of the voice recognition, I am finding it reliable. As usual, voice recognition requires training and I am wondering if that is what prevents most people from relying on it more.

There is this "thrill factor" at being able to write and draw, albeit with a mouthstick, on the screen.

Just think - Wheelie Catholic might be able to do comic strips!
