ABSTRACT:
An input device is provided for capturing handwriting strokes while in a handwriting mode and for providing audio-related functionality. The input device may be formed in the shape of a pen, and may or may not include an ink cartridge to facilitate movement of the input device in a familiar manner. In one configuration, an input device provides verbal messages, such as warnings to a user. In another configuration, an input device receives audible commands and performs related actions. In a further configuration, an input device recognizes specific movements, such as a word traced therewith, and provides audible information based on the movements. Methods for using input devices and computer-readable instructions for performing the methods are also provided.
