I'm a leftie, and I have next to no problems with handwriting recognition.
My main problems stem from trying to write in a moving tram or car, or while
walking. I also write a lot of words in "polish" (minus the accents) and it
recognizes them perfectly and consistently. Granted, I do print, and don't
use cursive, but I do have no problems with recognition.
