Yesterday I had the opportunity to present my knowledge of developing with the Tablet PC for a group of around 30 developers at the SDE meeting.As I was approaching the end of the session, I decided to show the function and use of the context tagging tool. Since there's no support for Dutch handwriting recognition, context tagging, especially the use of wordlists may be needed. Anyway, the case was a simple form to enter carbrands or types. Automagically, most of the brands were already recognized flawlessly, but of course the 'lelijke eend' (a coloquial name for a Citroen 2CV) was not. On to the context tagging tool. But no, you need to set the accessible name for the form and textbox first.
Once in the context tagging tool, I was sure I followed all the correct steps, and the clock was ticking... Unfortunately, I missed step three, were you need to “Add the new association to the context file”. I knew it was there, and I missed it. Well, that's life when doing demos. They don't always work.
Context tagging is an cumbersome process (no no, I'm trying to excuse my mistake), but here's a good article explaining all the steps, although step nr. 3 is also not mentioned too explicitly.
