Would it make sense to write on a tablet and have the computer do OCR? (Hypothetical system.)

Yes, that would also be great, but I a) I can't afford such a tablet, and b) I strongly suspect that the OCR would be inaccurate enough that I'd end up wishing for a keyboard anyway. Hell accurate voice recognition would be better, but I'm still waiting for that to happen...

Now that I think about it, OCR would be much harder for math than for text.
