Keyloggers and Tablet PC

Just a quick question - do keyloggers actually intercept keypresses, or do they intercept data?

I've recently got a TabletPC, and I've been playing with the TIP (the bit that you handwrite on & it converts to text).

I know that it's clean, so I'm not worried that I've got anything on it, more a wonder if it poses just the same potential risk as using the keyboard, or a lesser one?

Any keyloggers I've ever seen or used takes input directly from the keyboard, so I'd think writing things with a pen and it converting it to text would not actually be intercepted. There probably are some out there, though - I'm not a huge hacker or anything.
