screen tablet PC.) You can also use an on-screen keyboard, speech
to text or
handwriting recognition to enter less commonly used words/phrases,
or to add to the list of common words on-the-fly without trying to
type while standing.) Checklist items may be associated with a
specific room to refine the list of common words for quick
selection.

are generated and distributed.)
