The Ink preference pane (Figure 5-23) provides options for the Inkwell feature introduced in<br />

Tiger (<strong>Mac</strong> <strong>OS</strong> X 10.4). Inkwell is a handwriting recognition technology that allows you to write<br />

text with your input tablet, which the computer will then (attempt to) convert it into editable<br />

type:<br />

this is an example 0 I text I entered with inkwell Csif<br />

As you can see, it’s still not perfect, but it’s fun to play around with (and your handwriting<br />

may be better than ours).<br />

computer.<br />

Summary<br />

CHAPTER 5 CONNECTING PERIPHERALS TO YOUR MAC 119<br />

NOTE Inkwell will not work until the proper driver is installed for your input tablet.<br />

Now you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting any external peripheral to work with your<br />

<strong>Mac</strong> (provided it was designed to work with your <strong>Mac</strong> . . . getting non-<strong>Mac</strong>-compatible devices<br />

to work goes beyond the scope of this book). Next we will move on to some general administration<br />

tasks for <strong>Leopard</strong>.<br />

NOTE A number of devices that don’t make claims to work with a <strong>Mac</strong> will in fact work just<br />

fine, so if you have something laying around, give it a shot.
