PenOffice brings the power of award winning CalliGrapher® handwriting recognition technology to your Microsoft Windows Powered Tablet, Desktop or Portable PC and adds useful pen-based applications: Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP/2003 document markup, on-screen drawing, ScratchPads with email support, and PenCommander.
PenOffice works on any Windows-based Desktop, Portable or Tablet PC and supports practically any input device compatible with computer mouse, such as i-Pen, digital whiteboards, graphic tablets, touch-screen monitors, etc.

"If you have any kind of Windows-based pen computer, you
need PenOffice. It's inexpensive and even if you don't use it all
the time it makes no sense to have a pen-based computer system without
it."
From PenOffice review by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer (Pen Computing
magazine).
