Mary,
The drawing pad for Chinese (and Japanese) do character-by-character
handwriting recognition. Mostly, it's designed for finding the type-
written characters that are not initially recognized by the pinyin
input. It's not really designed for extensive hand-writing recognition.
If you are working on a Tablet PC, there is a a component for Chinese
and Japanese that seems to do the full-fledged handwriting
recognition as it does for English. I've only tested it briefly, but
it did a decent job. But you must be using the Tablet PC edition of
Windows, and on a tablet.
I hope that helps.
