Are you one of those reporters that is still using a pen and paper to take notes as opposed to a tape recorder, an Ipod or the robotic chip in your head? You fool! Don't you know that you are subject to having to translate your own sloppy handwriting? What will you do when you can't read your notes and you have to explain that to your editor?
Well, before you do that, try Abbyy's ScanTo Office, which can turn your chicken scratches into legible type. You might just have to be printing extremely slowly and neatly though for it to work.
