Gave this a go on my iPad today with my sighted lad. It's accuracy is not one
hundred per cent and, suspecting this might be my poor letter shapes, I got
Scott to have a go and he had similar results. I'm also curious to know why
they put this in the Accessibility settings suite instead of making it more
generally and obviously available.

I had a look at a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet the other day, and it, too, has a
handwriting facility. I don't know how it compares with the IOS one.

Yes, this is a feature from I O S 7 that can be quite fun to use. I
opened my phone app, selected the keypad tab and dialled a number
using this function! Awesome!
