I use the stylus to comment on students' assignments, using a Surface Pro stylus. The process is slow, frustrating and cumbersome. Each time I lift the stylus from the surface a popup menu appears asking me if I want to save or delete. This makes the process so slow as the menu is right in the way and I cannot continue writing my sentence until I save. So, I have to save each word. Also, there is a delay between the time of first contact with the screen and when the mark begins to appear. I use the stylus often in PDF files, WORD and Powerpoint and it works great! I can write many words or separate characters without ever choosing to save. It just saves automatically and doesn't make each item a separate object. The speedgrader stylus could be great if it wasn't so dumb. Can it be improved? PLEASE. I waste so much time.
