Graffiti Pro - FTW!

My first "tablet" was the original U.S. Robotics Palm Pilot in 1997. I fell in love with Graffiti, thought it was a great compromise between teaching the computer to recognize writing, and teaching humans what computers like to read   

OK, I'm j/k a bit, Graffiti has a great deal of nostaligic value to me, but then I'm 65, and tend to be nostalgic from time-to-time.

I am currently trying TouchPal for my keyboard, and 7Notes for handwriting recognition (which runs nicely on my iPad, and not too bad on the Nexus).....

I installed 7Notes last night, and it seemed to install OK, but the option to use handwriting recognition - the primary function of the app, is not available. There's supposed to be an additional icon to toggle between keyboard, plain handwriting, and recognition. and it does not appear in the 7Note app or any other app.

7Notes is listed in Settings as an input device. Is anyone using this app successfully?

I filed a bug report with the developer, and am awaiting a reply. I'll post the reply, and hopefully, the resolution when they reply.
