Today I wondered "if I wrote on my screen at an angle, would windows 7 handwriting recognition be able to properly convert my handwriting to text?"

So instead of writing along the rule lines of Windows Journal, I tilted my screen so that I was writing at an angle.

 I right clicked on my selected text and then clicked on "Copy as Text..." and I was pleased to see that Windows had understood my sentence with 100% accuracy.

It helps that I thoroughly trained the handwriting recognizer. I wrote all of the sample sentences in the personalization wizard so it could understand me well.

 It really is brilliant, this handwriting recognition software from Microsoft. I wrote this article with it.
