Data entry techniques on the PocketPC

The Toshiba e400 PocketPC gives 4 data entry methods.

• Transcriber - recognizes natural handwriting if written neatly.
• Block Recognizer - similar to Palm's Graffiti.
• Letter recognizer - supposed to recognize individual letters entered into a part of the screen
• Onscreen keyboard
  

Using the transcriber, this is what results:

This is a test of handwriting recognition where I will keep writing till it stops recognizing stuff. With this thing I can write pretty fast, but not very accurately. If I have to write with this. T,cs the time takento write neatly and then correct it waltz the effort? Or is typing with the virtual keyboard a better choice? Only timee tests will tell. But fol the moment, Tim trying it out.worth thePlncbablly it will recognizeProbablyI have to write very legibly otherwise it will recognize junk.

Using the onscreen keyboard:

This may be much slower, but less error-prone. And the suggestions also save time.

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
28 seconds with transcriber! Result of writing neatly.

Of course, now when I'm entering this into the blog, I remember that the phrase is actually "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Jumps, not jumped.
