Open a tablet like a surface pro 3 with a Pen / stylus.

Use the on screen keyboard.

Change the on-screen keyboard to detect handwriting.

That keyboard gets better with time as the user corrects the handwriting transcription from say cursive to typed text.   Where is that information saved?

Any updates?
