Tablet PC Input Panel

In Windows Vista and later, Tablet PC Input Panel is the standard interface for converting handwriting to text in a Windows-based program. It's the method by which tablet pen users enter text into applications that do not include a custom handwriting interface. Using Input Panel, users can insert text into website forms, word processing and e-mail applications, web browsers, and more. Input Panel includes three input areas for entering text: the writing pad, the character pad, and the on-screen keyboard. The writing pad and the character pad convert handwriting into typed text. The on-screen keyboard works just like a standard keyboard except that the user enters text by tapping keys with a tablet pen.
