Frankly, this sounds like a waste of time, and the original poster admits he doesn't have a clue.
These devices cost $150 or more in US, according to wikipedia. For under $250 you can buy a low-end laptop that would be fine to run Sage. The idea that existing technology for handwriting of math is a substitute for a keyboard, or that deTexify would be of much help requires a substantial misunderstanding of the needed technology. I believe it is easier to get VOICE input of math than handwriting, and perfecting that in a Sage context might be a fun project. But don't complicate your life by programming on (or for) a toy.

If you can't use google to find references and are truly interested and have some skills, feel free to email questions about voice etc. On Tuesday, July 24, 2012 11:24:13 AM UTC-7, Christopher Swenson wrote: > > Detexify does some neat mathematics handwriting recognition: > > http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html > > --Christopher > > On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 1:20 PM, Julien Puydt <julien.pu...@laposte.net>wrote: > >> Le 24/07/2012 16:13, Jason Ekstrand a écrit : >> >> Then the big >>> issue would simply be the math handwriting detection (I say simply, >>> but it's not that simple). >>> >> >> I attended a talk about OCR for mathematics a few years ago, and from >> what I remember, recognizing from a picture is indeed very very difficult >> -- basically because mathematics aren't just line-based and forward-going >> (fractions, sub and sup text, accents... a large variety of fonts).
