Note taking...

Hello folks,

I'm playing with ideas for increasing the utility
of my wearable for taking notes while in class.

I don't think I'll ever be fast enough on my Twiddler
to take notes while in class, and the Twiddler doesn't
handle sketching at all.  I'm thinking of locating a
Cross CrossPad to take notes on and later upload them
to the wearable or have them transferred real-time to
my wearable.  Once the notes are in the wearable I 
would use some form of OCR to convert my notes to text
for use by my local copy of TWiki, Remembrance Agent,
or jAugment.  Has anyone played with a CrossPad or 
similar tech?

I'm also looking into using the wearable as a voice
and image recorder during classes.  I could then 
listen to the lecture and focus on the content and
not have to  scramble to transcribe it.  The audio
can be reviewed later and possibly transcribed.  I 
believe CMU's Sphinx3 has successfully been used to 
recognize and transcribe voice content offline.  
Hopefully, I'm not chasing a pipe dream.

I welcome any comments, recommendations, ideas, etc. 

-Freeman
