Fair
enough. I'm mentally trapped in the paradigm of QBE-based
data
entry where the capture of information has stringent
validation requirements. Capturing an annotated drawing
is a
different and productive product. Then TabletPC
becomes the digitized table napkin.

I think you may excessively
unimpressed!! ... I think this *could* be a brilliant little application of
technology.
But since I haven't actually seen this thing in action I am
speculating.
By capturing human-drawn shapes (writing or other
annotation) on a tablet PC where there may be a diagram of an industrial
plant, component etc etc a human can annotate exactly in relation to the
diagram and transmit the annotations to whichever colleague needs them.
Assuming the SVG was set up to animate to hide / show the annotations ... and
the same for any annotated responses sent back again ... there could be a
superb tool for interaction with remote sites.
Take a look at the
workflow scenarios on the Corel site too. www.corel.grafigo.
To me it
makes eminently good sense to leave the decipherment of the human doodlings to
the human brain. If you can capture the shapes and their position faithfully
you avoid the training phenomenon for the computer altogether.
At least
that's how I hope it works. :)
