What is WriteIt ?

This small application enables you to use your Psion pen and actually write directly into any running application.
The program can obviously not read anyone's handwriting, so you need to learn a new alphabet, BUT don't run away yet: it is very simple. The characters to be drawn resemble the real thing, so there is no need to spend hours practising.
A small window opens up on top of the running document, in which you write. It couldn't be simpler.

Features List:

•	Hand-written single character recognition.
•	Each character is fed into the running application below.
•	Alphabet set of 54 different characters.
•	Caps and Num. locks.
•	Mapping mode (see below).
•	Side-ways writing.
•	Unrecognised character beep.
