Title: Writing Recognition?
Post by: Talon Starblade on February 27, 2012, 10:36:59 PM
Hey guys, got a new question here:

Has anyone here played with hand writing recognition apps at all? The Amazon App store has one or two that i found, but the most promising appears to be a self contained program for the Kindle Fire (don't even know if compatible with APX). Here's the Amazon listing:

The other main question is has anyone found anythign that can be used in place of the keyboard for other programs?

Update: looks like i found something, a handwriting keyboard. I wonder if anyone's used it?

Try the graffiti app which emulates the Palm input system.

I like MessageEase. It's a keyboard that uses drag and drop. Takes a little getting used to, but works really well.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I didn't even realize that someone had made a Grafiti app for Android. I DL'd the free version just to play with it for a couple of minutes, then promptly uninstalled and paid for the Pro version. I loved my my old Palm systems, and got very used to using the system... so much so that it began taking over my normal hand writing  ;D

Now I'm working to use it again.
