I would probably suggest avoiding that feature. You'll just get annoyed when you run into its limitations.

I use it on a tablet that I run for new patients (two Viewsonic 1100's). You have to set up your questions for the questioner but it saves the step of scanning in info. The difficulty is the range of people who can handle data input on a pen computer. When the pen hovers above the screen a icon for the keyboard comes up. They can use it for name and address(perfect for true false questions). Real difficult for most. Impossible for the technically challenged. You have to run a parallel paper system for those and generally the mature crowd. All in all its a good concept, just needed tweaking. It has been said its going to be revamped so I would not start using it now. Just wait for the upgrade.
