So it works better than any other item with written to printed text conversion that I've found. My handwriting is especially bad, and I would say it has an 80-90% correct rate, compared to my last system that I tried (neonotes smartpen) that is light years ahead. That was less than 10% correct.

I have never used the search function. I do not convert to text unless I have a specific use. This is why I wish we could tag pages and search via tag - I had to create my own recordkeeping system via headers that you can see in the gridview to be able to quickly find what I need.

>Does it have the option to straighten lines? Say that I draw a box, will it make it square or a circle round?

When you are drawing, it follows your pen. From what I can tell, there is no 'snap to grid' or whatever option that might be. That might be nice. If you are talking about once you convert to text, it does not convert drawings.

Overall, the search is pretty terrible. Just adding tags would alleviate that, and make this, for me, the perfect tool for work.

I don't have a rm2 but I already love the idea of being able to tag pages (hopefully even multiple tags), and perhaps even to a lesser extent, tag sections of pages. And then search by multiple tags to drill down into specific pages/sections.
