MoboCalc supports both Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Microsoft Office Excel 2007.

 

Other prerequisites

 

During setup, MoboCalc will install the following required software if it is not already present on your computer. You need to be connected to the Internet during setup so that any necessary installation files can be downloaded if needed.  These prerequisites may need to be installed by a system administrator.

 

•.NET Framework 2.0 (for Windows XP users)
 
This is already installed on all Windows Vista systems.
 
Note for Windows XP users: We recommend that you install .NET Framework 2.0 from the Windows Update site before installing MoboCalc to streamline your setup experience.
 
•.NET Programmability Support for Microsoft Excel
 
This feature is also known as the Microsoft Office Primary Interop Assemblies.  It may already have been installed when you installed Microsoft Office.

Product Improvement Program

 

During setup, you are asked to join the MoboCalc Product Improvement Program. This program helps Enventra improve handwriting recognition for formulas by automatically uploading samples of your writing from each Excel session to a secure server.

 

Uploads are performed in the background and do not interrupt or interfere with your use of MoboCalc or Excel. The samples you send are analyzed to identify recognition errors that can be investigated and corrected.

 

Only ink data, Excel formula translations, and the formula recognition results you get are sent to Enventra. No Excel files, individual cell values, or calculation results are uploaded, and no personal information is transmitted. All uploads are anonymous.

 

Any data that you agree to send is used solely by Enventra to improve handwriting recognition accuracy and is not used for any other purpose or shared with third parties.

 

If you are using Excel at work, please check with your employer to be certain that their policies allow you to participate before joining this program.

 

You can opt in or out of the program at any time from General tab of the MoboCalc Options dialog.
