Tablet PC increases its vocabulary
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Monday released an update to its Tablet PC operating system that allows a device to habla espanol and at the same time parle francais. The software maker has already trained the handwriting-recognition software to read a number of languages, but the new Multilingual User Interface and Recognizer Pack adds the ability to write in more than one language at time.
The update to the Tablet OS, which is a custom version of Windows XP, covers French, German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and American and British English. With the latest update, customers can also quickly switch menus and dialog boxes to a different language.
