Free handwriting app for the 750 that actually works?

Has anyone identifed a free handwritng app for the treo 750 that actually works without breaking other stuff. I got an unlocked Vodaphone treo 750 from a friend who attended an Asian Telecom exhibit. Every other aspect of the phone worked flawlessly out of the box. The handwriting application was for the chinese language however so I proceeded to search for a workable replacement.

Calligrapher 8.x was a problem. It broke the SMS app and only a hard reset corrected the problem this was a bitter pill to swallow as it reverts the phone back to its original condition, requiring the re-installation of all the 3rd party apps and the re-synching of all outlook data items (email,contacts appointments etc. Phatware's tech support is also unimpressive, (very slow to respond) and appears to be unaware of the issue with the Treo 750.

I am not a programmer but it appears that some of the other handwriting apps for the pocket pc that have been tried were not really tested on the 750 so they are often problematic. A user on the Treobits treo 750 forum suggested Microsoft Transcriber which works, but not as well as suggested in the manual. It does not show up anywhere in programs, but it is free and does provide basic functionality.

Any treo 750 users out there with working 3 party handwriting apps? Please let me know of your recommendations. Thank you.
