I have been using Calligrapher for years - The IPAQ 3650 in my opinion was the device that first had the capabilities sufficient to make it a usable tool for note-taking. It is great on my 2215.

I have noticed that Calligrapher has the edge over other entry methods in a few areas. 85% accuracy isn't bad, and that is what I get. Second, I don't have to really look at what I am writing or watch the converted results. If I go back later I have so much of the context that corrections are trivial. Even though I only get about 85%, what I have written is so close to what results in the conversion, the quick-correct capability bumps the accuracy up quite a bit.

I have recently used MessagEase a bit, and that really is the best alternative keyboard layout I have found. However I have discovered that I am better attuned with Calligrapher's timing. When I use a keyboard entry style I have to process all audio input simultaneously with data entry, and there are no breaks. When I use Calligrapher I can use the word-conversion delay to process what I have heard and determine the best way to summarize. I usually end with more documented content that way.
