Note-taking Many people take notes, but never look at them again Opening a note takes more effort than flipping to a page No method to search through your notes for a word It might be easier to get the same information you took notes about by googling it

Note Searching We’ve attempted to solve these problems By creating a one-touch and write application that searches your notes and lets you access them easily It can be thought of as an incredibly easy to use note googlizer

Stan the Law Student Stan is about to take the Bar Stan has thousands of Law notes on his Tablet PC He wants to review terms that scattered throughout his notes How does Stan find these terms in his notes?

Stan the Law Student So Stan downloads InkLight, installs it (easily), and gets to work. Right on, Stan!

Dan the Business Man Dan meets Richard, a powerful executive, while at a meeting Richard gives Dan his contact information, which Dan writes in his meeting notes Later that year, Dan has a great idea that he wants to share with Richard How does Dan find Richard’s contact info?

Dan the Business Man Dan uses InkLight to search for Richard’s contact info.

Current Limitations Many limitations based on Ink Analyzer Cannot search for “SIGCSE” for example Our contacts search is rather limited Contact name must be in our name dictionary A phone number must be a single word with dashes

Future Vision Better performance Definitely use a database rather than load everything into memory Automatic indexing when a new note is made Better information extraction Not just over contacts Integrated into Tablet PCs Like spotlight in Mac OS X
