simpliWrite® handwriting recognition software is a processor-independent solution that provides extremely accurate recognition of printed characters. The simpliWrite software engine is a natural character recognizer. simpliWrite provides the best available solution for data entry on cellular handsets. Composing SMS messages or surfing the Internet is far easier using simpliWrite than any other available method.

simpliWrite has minimal writing-area requirements that are ideal for any small form factor platforms, such as modern digital cellular handsets and two-way pagers. Users do not need to learn a special set of characters, and no user training is required. simpliWrite's complete support of punctuation marks, special characters, and symbols makes it the easiest and most natural solution of its kind.

simpliWrite offers many innovations and benefits to both users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of mobile appliances. Designed for low processing power usage and low memory consumption, simpliWrite provides excellent integration with portable devices and various operating systems. Based upon Nuance's years of experience in developing and integrating other successful handwriting recognition technologies, simpliWrite is a reliable next-generation product that is easily ported to low performance mobile environments.

simpliWrite's user-independent characteristics permit an out-of-the-box use of devices. With the performance, flexibility, and high accuracy that users demand, simpliWrite handwriting recognition enables powerful user interface designs that make products more responsive and intuitive.

simpliWrite works with most of today's touch screens, touch pads, digital pens, and other devices that deliver electronic ink, providing very easy software and hardware integration.
