InkSeine is one of the projects featured on the new Microsoft Office Labs web site . There are some cool prototypes available there, so I recommend you swing by to check them out, and to learn more about Office Labs. We're honored that Office Labs invited the InkSeine Team to participate in this...

An InkSeine user, Anthony Chan, posted up a thoughtful review of InkSeine on his blog , written in InkSeine itself! With his permission, I'm reproducing it here. He has a lot of great comments and ideas for features. Let's discuss the points he raises. Page 1: The table of contents Anthony starts...

GottaBeMobile.com forum member moneyburninhole conceived an ingenious InkSeine Tool Ring hack for flicking your way around on your Vista Tablet PC. It is so brilliant and useful that I just have to share it. moneyburninhole posted this comment in the GBM forums : I also love the Tool Ring and wanted...

One of the things we are trying to get fully functional for an update is to enable rotation of objects in InkSeine. We have it mostly working; pretty much the only thing left to do is to add some snapping so the 90-degree orientations are easier to achieve. I've got a debug build of this on my tablet...

UPDATE: bug fix now available! My humble apologies to users outside the US who have encountered some problems with InkSeine. The good news is that this is the only major bug that has come up in our InkSeine deployment, and we already have the problem fixed on our internal testing build. The bug results...

I'm happy to see that InkSeine is generating some fresh Tablet PC buzz in the blogosphere . Apparently, offering a new inking application to a crowd of pen computing enthusiasts is like tossing a fish into a crate full of starving cats! But seriously, we've worked hard on InkSeine, and it's...

It would be criminal of me to do this 12-day series without out also confessing that, like many Tablet PC users out there, I am also a big fan of OneNote. InkSeine is not, and will never be, a replacement for it. I still remember a meeting a few years ago where my manager invited Chris Pratley to talk...

I’m Ken Hinckley, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond , Washington , where I conduct research on new techniques and approaches to human-computer interaction. This is a longwinded way to say that I try out cool new stuff, throw it at the wall, and see if it sticks. Usually it doesn’t...
