Additionally, the following messages may be logged in the Application log:

Handwriting recognition personalization failed to initialize the store of handwriting samples that are used to personalize handwriting recognition.
Handwriting recognition personalization: Some or all of the handwriting samples that were collected to personalize the handwriting recognizer are unreadable
