I have a hand recognition board. I plugged in and I noticed that there is a new icon in system preferences called ink. Inside the ink preference, there is an option to turn hand recognition on/off. I turned it on, but I cannot get it to write on the screen. My question is how do you actually get it to work?

In Preferences > Ink, you can customize several categories.
In Settings, enabling “Allow me to ink in any application” allows you to ink (write or draw) in any application where text can be entered with a keyboard (for written) and any application where a picture can be entered (for draw), such as TextEdit. When this option is not enabled, you can only ink in Ink-aware applications such as Ink Pad, Motion or third-party applications such as inkBook.

Ink is disappointing and has seen no improvement. My 2K Newton was way better than Ink. Why did Apple even bother?

Btw, the device is called a "graphics tablet", and Ink is "handwriting recognition". No Mac as of yet recognizes your hand gesturing in front of it!

Actually, 'hand' is an accepted term for 'handwriting' -especially as regards a particular person's style- in many contexts. I've never heard it used for handwriting-recognition technology before, but the term he's using isn't completely out of place.

I'm with Tooki.
"hand":
a. A style or individual sample of writing.
b. A signature: put my hand to the contract
From Printing: A character (looks like a pointing hand) used in printing to call attention to a particular paragraph or section. Also called fist , hand.

I miss my Newton. The Agent technology is what made it more useful than any PocketPC or Palm device.
I hope Apple implements Agents in a future OS X release.
Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack the topic.
Carry on.

Last time I used a Wacom Graphire, I had to install the driver that came with it. Not sure if OS X 10.4 Tiger supports it out-of-the-box.

I was really disappointed in Ink when I gave it a shot. I owned a Newton for a while, and it was pretty amazing. Ink is lousy. I don't know why Apple stuck it in there. It's kind of a waste in my opinion.
