Mage Software has released version 2.0 of their inkBook program which takes advantage of OS X’s InkWell handwriting recognition technology to let you search, copy, and export notes handwritten with a tablet and stylus. We briefly mentioned inkBook in our recent article Turn Handwriting Into Text With InkWell but this 2.0 version is a major upgrade.
New features listed include a new interface in multi-page notebook style with customisable tabs allowing a freeform layout of notes, sketches and images. Targetted, context aware gestures such as “clear”, “delete”, “paste” and “join” are available. inkBook also lets you write with multiple “brushes”: pencil, paint, highlighter, calligraphy pen, and to record and tag audio input.
inkBook is now a Universal Binary. It can be trialled free for 30 days before purchase, and costs US$40 to buy. Version 1.0 users can upgrade for US$20.
