Dear friends,
With online instruction for large classes continuing into the near future, I am looking at writing tablets and wondering if any of these can be integrated into Fedora. My examples are from:
https://www.amazon.com/Mice-Keyboards-Computer-Add-Ons-Computers/b?node=1724...
I am not sure if these can do what I am hoping that they can, but I am thinking of something hooked to my machine that is essentially like an Elmo and can be "projected" via a share screen (using zoom) and recorded (using, say, simplescreenrecorder).
Do these things exist? Any suggestions? I do not want to give up my current machine, and buying an unnecessary tablet laptop because that would fragment my workspace (computer).
I've found they generally all work out of the box. However, they are only an input device, so you need some program to do the actual drawing. Maybe something like xournal. You could make it full-screen and share the program output with zoom or a screen recorder.
Thanks! I use xournalpp (successor to xournal). So, I am sorry: how does this work. It is plugged in through USB(?) or Bluetooth, and where does the xournalpp point to (connect to) or take its drawing area from? Sorry, I have been searching online for more information, but have so far drawn a blank (I am not very adept at DDG searching and that is generally true). Part of the issue is that calling it a writing tablet does not restrict the other searches about tablet laptops and generic tablets.
Many thanks again and best wishes, Ranjan
