We are looking for a handwriting control with similar functionality as journal. We would use journal if I could find a way to embed it into a winform. We used Agilix Infinotes however it is buggy when you have 8+ pages of notes written up, not to mention very slow at converting to text. They have apparently stopped supporting infinotes. Has anyone got anything they use for handwriting on a tablet that has similar features (Look and Feel) to journal? Or do you know of a way to use journal inside an application where we control the convert to text and saving/passing of data.

It is well supported by .NET on tablet PCs. Take a look at the Microsoft.Ink namespace.

We have resorted to that for now, what the users liked was in journal when you Convert to Text, you get a dialog with the original handwriting, the converted text, and alternate words. Inifinotes also does this well however we can't use it because its too slow with 8+ pages and sometimes it crashes trying to convert to text.
