uBoard and the new MS tablet maths function

The latest version of Microsoft tablet software built into Windows 7, does more than just convert handwriting to text. One very useful enhancement is the new math input panel. To quote Microsoft, "At last, you can take notes on your tablet in algebra class: the new Math Input Panel recognizes handwritten math expressions. Once your equation is recognized, you can insert it into a word-processing or computational program."










This is a break through function and very handy in senior mathematics classes.

Using uBoard with MS Tablet functions

You may recall that uBoard is recognised as a 'native' Microsoft tablet device which means that you can access all the excellent software functions that Microsoft include in their tablet package.
The first tablet function that people tend to use is handwriting recognition. Basically, you can handwrite on the screen and it is turned into typed text as you go! The latest version of this is very, very good, and easily handles my 'old school' cursive handwriting. This is very handy and can be used for taking notes, entering a web address in a form, signing a digital document, annotating a document neatly - a multitude of uses.


MS Vista also allows this functionality, but MS Windows 7 is the best. uBoard is the only interactive whiteboard able to access this software.
