Graphic Tablet
seacam
23-08-2006
Hello,

Could someone help me please?

I'm pretty good with building PCs but I would like to buy a graphic tablet.

I do a lot of writing also clients sometimes send me photographs or plans which I need to highlight areas of and send back via e-mail

Can anyone recomend an A4/A5 graphic pad with a stylus that I can write with and software that can convert block handwriting to typeface and allow me to mark areas of photos.

I hope the above makes sense

hi, i have the trust 400-v2 wireless tablet. it's a5 as a4 is to big for me. it comes with a stylus and a mouse for it.

however it doesn't come with any handwriting software.

apart from that i would highly recommend it, as i do not use the mouse any more because the stylus offers a completely different experience.

hope that helps

oh and it has a little cover over the top which you can lift up and put anything underneath and effectively trace it.

Im a graphic designer and use a Wacom tablet - the industry standard. I have an A5 version and it came with all sorts of recognition software. I picked mine up from PC World - have you tried there?

I would also recommend this forum to you if you are interested in buying a Tablet.
I know that Toshiba have a couple of tablets that are meant to be pretty good.

I also have a Wacom tablet, be carefull on the size you get. I tried an A4 out thinking bigger is better but the A5 one is much better IMO.

I second that exactly. I have an A5 and it's brilliant.
