 Introduction
 ------------
 This software is a command-line tool to display or record the data related to the motion of either the pen or the finger on the device. Recordtablet capture the X events triggered by the movement. The data of the motion event are displayed on the standard output but they can also be redirected to a file (see the examples)
+
+That tool can be useful to test and evaluate a graphic tablet or to record very precisely the movements of a finger or a pen (for scientific purposes for instance).
