Inkwell
An inkwell is a small jar or container, often made of glass, porcelain, silver, brass, or pewter, used for holding ink in a place convenient for the person who is writing. The artist or writer dips the brush, quill, or dip pen into the inkwell as needed or uses the inkwell as the source for filling the reservoir of a fountain pen. An inkwell usually has a lid to prevent contamination, evaporation, accidental spillage, and excessive exposure to air. A type known as the travelling inkwell was fitted with a secure, screw lid so a traveller could carry a supply of ink in their luggage without the risk of leakage.
Inkwells gradually fell out of use in the early part of 20th century as the reservoir fountain pen (which needs to be filled only occasionally) replaced the dip pen, which needed to be dipped in ink after writing a few lines. Holes known as inkwells are a common feature of old school desks, and would have held a small container with the student's ink.
Bibliography
Inkwell (Macintosh)
Inkwell, or simply Ink, is the name of the handwriting recognition technology developed by Apple Inc. and built into the Mac OS X operating system. Introduced in an update to Mac OS X v10.2 "Jaguar", Inkwell can translate English, French, and German writing. The technology made its debut as "Rosetta", an integral feature of Apple Newton OS, the operating system of the short-lived Apple Newton personal digital assistant. Inkwell's inclusion in Mac OS X led many to believe Apple would be using this technology in a new PDA or other portable tablet computer. However, none of the touchscreen iOS devices--iPhone/iPod/iPad--offers Inkwell handwriting recognition.
Inkwell, when activated, appears as semi-transparent yellow lined paper, on which the user sees his or her writing appear. When the user stops writing, his or her writing is interpreted by Inkwell and pasted into the current application (wherever the active text cursor is), as if the user had simply typed the words. The user can also force Inkwell to not interpret his or her writing, instead using it to paste a hand-drawn sketch into the active window.

Pink... No No... What About Whimsical
by: InkwellI, I am a fake.
And I, I am a fraud.
I do nothing but lie
To everyone I know.
I am this plane crashing to the ground.
I am the sweet absent sound.
So, please pay attention
To these final words.
So, please pay attention
To these miserable chords.
We talk to fast
We move to slow
And all I know is I can't do this anymore.
This, This is the sound.
This, This is the sound.
So, please pay attention
To these final words.
So, please pay attention
To these miserable chords.
We talk to fast
We move to slow
And all I know is I can't do this anymore.
We talk to fast
We move to slow
And all I know is I can't do this anymore.
We talk to fast
We move to slow
And all I know is I can't do this anymore.
