Tablet Enhancements for Outlook is an add-in for Microsoft OutlookŪ 2003 and 2007 that turns the popular personal information manager into a fully pen-enabled application on your Tablet PC, UMPC, or Origami device. TEO 3.0 replaces Outlook's standard UI with fully ink-enabled forms and lets you write and keep your notes in your own handwriting. No synchronization required.
Rapid One-Handed Data Entry
The ability to quickly capture data in meetings, classes, or phone calls is very important. TEO allows you to do this using the same software you use today, resulting in a minimal learning curve and maximum use of the captured data.
Microsoft Outlook, out of the box, provides little optimization for the Tablet PC platform. While you can send ink emails using the features of Word 2003, you're stuck using the on-screen keyboard or input panel for other items such as appointments, contacts, tasks, and journal entries.
The magic of TEO is that it provides Tablet PC-optimized forms for creating and editing the rest of these items without re-inventing the application. When you create a contact, it is a true Outlook contact with additional ink data attached. You can toggle the TEO view on and off to switch between the standard Outlook view and TEO. If you want, you can strip them item of all ink data and convert it to a standard Outlook item when you're done making the necessary corrections.
MapPoint Integration with Contacts and Appointments
Use the mapping integration to find out how to get to Bob's office for that lunch appointment you have. You can pan and zoom the map on the location tab and when you found the information you are looking for, add it to your notes and mark it up or set an early reminder to make sure you get to the appointment on time.
