ActiveWords gets Ink

ActiveWords excels at increasing productivity by using short keycodes to perform a series of actions. Text substitution, web browsing, application launch, folder/file access, outlook contact access, email checking, google searching and more can all be achieved with a few keystrokes. Tablet PC’s can now benefit from this thanks to a new ActiveWords InkPad extension. There is a video demo at the ActiveWords site which shows it in action and it looks pretty slick.

Kiwi Tablet PC, MindManager blog

It seems he’s also a MindManager fan, demonstrating the latest MindManager 6 at a recent meeting. Pity the group is based in Wellington which is a bit far away for me (660km). I don’t actually have a Tablet PC, yet. I need high spec (part time CAD use) and don’t have a spare $5000 but think that the convertible/tablet is the future of computing. It’s the nearest to most peoples favourite familiar information interface – pen &... Read more →
