MyScript Handwriting Recognition Software For Android
Vision Objects are currently developing one of the first handwriting-recognition solutions for the Android platform. Known as “MyScript”, the system is capable of recognizing all manner of hand-printed and hand-written gestures in some 16 different languages.
As shown in the video footage below, the software doesn’t require a stylus, and can confidently absorb the inputted characters quickly and easily.
Whilst Vision Objects provide their handwriting-recognition software to a number of companies, there isn’t any indication as to when we can expect to see the software available on the Android platform.

It’s amazing how technology gets REinvented over and over in circles; c. ‘96 Palm brings us Grafiti(TM), derivatives abound, including PocketPC’s natural handwriting input, then on-screen QWERTY keyboards are the flavour, then slide-out Real keyboards are the flavour, and now we’re back to scribbling letters on-screen again.

Any idea when this app will come out and where we can buy it?
Thanks

Which is funny because Palm of course was re-working what the Newton started a in ‘93 which was itself a re-work of other ideas.
I do find it amazing that I could do almost everything with my Newton back in the late ’90s that I can do with one of the modern smart phones.

Graffiti on Palm ROCK’D!!!
I’d rather have my good ol’ scribbling than the keyboard I got on my Droid. Now I do, but this ain’t it! MobileWriter is already released on Android, and will do Graffiti, Graffiti2, or your own “printing” style handwriting.
Still, nobody’s looking for the you-tube demo of something that’s not even out in beta! If you’ve got it, and it actually works, let us have it!

Handwriting recognition software on windows mobile was great. When I upgrade to new technology, I want MORE, not LESS. I would have appreciated handwriting recognition being part of android.

We all put data into ojr devices diferently. I found Palm Graffiti smooth and natural but onscreen keyboards slow and cumbersome. Others are the exact opposite. I think having both types of input is critical if you want a device the most, people can use well.
