Nuance's unique handwriting recognizers understand users' own natural writing, thus freeing them from the need to learn and employ unwieldy, unnatural predetermined letter shapes. This original solution creates a near-zero learning curve for users. All solutions operate with low-resolution writing pads to minimize OEM production costs. The Nuance family of handwriting products is designed to fulfill any handwriting recognition need, starting with very small writing areas, such as the screen of a low-end mobile handset, through bigger input areas of touch pads, PDAs, smartphones and communicators.
