Unfortunately, not if you have a VGA device. I desparately want Decuma back (for English), but I don't think VGA support is coming any time soon 
Pen Reader works OK for me, but I couldn't get it to be as reliable as Calligrapher, which in turn is about 3 orders of magnitude behind Decuma. I have a friend with exactly the oposite experience though.
