Overall

Based on the user testing and usability studies of this prototype system, it can be concluded that an application for good, easy to use, pen-based formula entry can be built. The system worked very well and was easy to learn and use. The system had several flaws, but all these can be remedied. Creating a handwriting-based formula editor is possible and also, more importantly, desirable in comparison to existing systems such as template or command string based equation entry systems.
