Thanks for the advice re Psion.

As for VB; well, MS's tools for the WindowsCE are eVB and ADO!!!!!!

>>I guess the Handspring Visor intrigues me most. How far are they from having a hardware voice recorder or hardware handwriting recognition unit? If someone makes these things in hardware, they will be fast and robust, and your problem is that much closer to solved. I suppose the cost may go up a bit...is that a big issue?<<

You can already get dictation addons for both Palm and Handspring though the Palm examples are completely separate from the Palm and cannot be synchnonised. As for handwriting, there is a commercial PalmOS product that apparently works well (I haven't looked at it).

FWIW I have asked the chaps to obtain and test a Psion. Might as well be complete! I'll let you know what they come up with...

Regards
