Gesso is an extension for Mozilla Firefox which enables the Tablet Input Panel (TIP) within Firefox on a Tablet PC, similar to Ian's GeckoTIP extension.
On top of that, Gesso utilizes the Text Services Framework (TSF) to provide a more natural experience of using the Tablet Input Panel, with features such as in-place correction and editing.
Head over to the Screenshots page to get a visual walkthrough.
In addition, many other system services including Windows Speech Recognition depend on the Text Services Framework. Therefore, although Gesso is developed with the Tablet Input Panel in mind, users of Windows Speech Recognition should also benefit from this extension.
And finally, just a word of precaution: Gesso for Firefox 2 is unstable due to some bugs in Firefox 2 itself. Gesso for Firefox 3 is not fully tested yet. Therefore Firefox might crash frequently in Firefox 2 and on rare occasions in Firefox 3. It's better not to write a novel in Firefox because it will probably crash before the work is saved.
Gesso and its source code are released under the Mozilla Public License, the GNU General Public License, and the GNU Lesser General Public License.
