Google’s own **Google Handwriting Input** app has also been working quite well on Android in recent months. It’s not quite as natural as the HP Pro Slate’s app, as you need to use a more restrictive input area at the bottom of the screen, but with a reasonably sized tablet it might not be that much of an issue.

So it’s now possible to use an Android tablet with handwriting input only, which might make the HP Pro Slate 12 a more justifiable purchase (given it’s hefty price tag - it’s GBP 576.00 in the UK, plus accessories).
