Other Uses for Digital Signature Scanners?

Posted by Cliff on from the finding-more-secondary-uses dept.

Tomcow2000 asks: "I just picked up a stack of digital signature scanners for way-too-cheap. They're originally from Bradlees and they are evidently made by MobiNetix. They have something that looks like a VGA port on the back, but nothing else (not even power). Anybody know what these are and what I can do with them?" Digital Etch-a-Sketch anyone?

    And a follow-up question: What's the current state of the art in freely-available handwriting recognition code? Can I get an X widget that implements an input device for handwritten text?
