Drawing Tablet and Articulate

Dec 07, 2020

I've been doing a lot of research online about the pros and cons of using a drawing tablet beyond just photo-editing/drawing. There seem to be some ergonomic and efficiency benefits and I'm really interested. However, the majority of the work I do is with Articulate (mostly Storyline) and I'm curious to know how well a drawing tablet works with Articulate software. 

I've seen some rather old discussion threads on this topic here, at least a few years old for most. I'm wondering if recently: 

1. Is anyone using a drawing tablet regularly with Articulate products? Especially Storyline?

2. Is there any tablet that seems to work best with Articulate/Storyline?

3. What are some of the pros/cons/recommendations regarding using a drawing tablet with Articulate/Storyline?

Plus any other information you'd like to share about the topic. (I apologize if there's a recent thread about this! If there is I was unable to find it.)

I unfortunately don't have any feedback to provide you, but I've been wondering the same thing recently.  I've seen the medium size Wacom tablets on sale recently and wondered if I should pull the trigger on one.  

I spend a lot of time in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop preparing imagery to use in Storyline.  I'm pretty convinced from what I've read that a drawing tablet would really improve my efficiency from that standpoint, but I'm also wondering if it would work / be at all helpful in Storyline.
