    question

    Is there handwriting recognition software? I'm looking for an entry level tablet for photo editing, and I am also a writer with tendinitis; it would be fantastic to be able to use this for both needs. If not, is there a tablet anyone can recommend for both?
    Asked by: Emma M.
    This tablet is ideal for editing and drawing and not really for handwriting. I am not aware of a tablet that can do both well. But we do carry another product from Iris which would work great for handwriting. Please see below.

    i've experienced no problems with the exact same hardware/software. and if you mean what other brand of tablet, Wacom is the ONLY tablet worth your time and $. a pleasure to use, quality, battery-less pen(it's voo-doo) & up to date software/firmware. a bit pricey yes, but worth every penny.

    question

    I see that different intuos models come with different software and I can not decide which model to buy. Additional software can be loaded to a specific model?
    Asked by: Alejandro M.
    I assume you mean the art-related applications that are bundled with the tablets? I didn't worry about the software that came with the model. I use Adobe Creative Cloud software, and the device works well with those applications. The bundled software isn't as nice as Adobe's applications, so I never installed any of it. I wouldn't pick the tablet by the software. Pick the tablet that is best for you size and sensitivity wise. It's worth far more than the bundled extras.

    Does the tablet come with a battery non-wireless setup? Just curious if I lost mine nothing is under the cover or it never had one.

    No battery. It comes with a usb wire to connect to the pc. There is a wireless adapter, but you have to buy it separately.
