Hi,
I have coordination problems, so although I can type with one hand, I can't coordinate both hands, and although I can write with pencils if I can rest my hand on the surface, I have trouble with slippery pens, and I can't use touchpads. I also have nasty nerve pain. Using a vertical mouse has made mousing easier, so I am wondering what could make writing easier.
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
As of now: No.
Ink does not work.
It's hard to write with the graphics tablet, which will miss some strokes and letters, and hard for Ink to recognize letters and words written with the graphics tablet. I end up with a lot of gibberish. Once or twice I ended up with a word amid the gibberish, but had no way to delete the gibberish and keep the word. Just a clear function which deleted everything.
As of now, the pen, tablet, and Ink sometimes sorta work, although they miss strokes and misread letters - how does G become 2?
sometimes fail, with the pen showing up and moving around the Ink window, but unable to writing anything in the window, and
sometimes fail, without the pen showing up at all.
Any idea what's going on and how to resolve this? I can use the pen in the tablet settings app even when I can't use it in Ink.
I think I've figured out what's going on. Although I've turned off both pen buttons in the tablet settings, they're still interfering in the Ink settings. And any pressure on the buttons keeps the pen from registering. At best this causes gaps in my writing. At worst, this causes completely blank writing.
I can't hold the pen without tucking it under my thumb, and sometimes squeezing that part of the pen.
I think this was another pen-like device built on the assumption that everyone can, should, and would use the dynamic tripod grip. I am unable to use dynamic grips, and rely on lateral grips.
Are Graphics Tablets a Practical Alternative to the Keyboard?
