Overview

smARTwriter® handwriting recognition software is an adaptable user-independent solution that provides extremely accurate handwriting recognition. smARTwriter provides excellent out-of-the-box recognition accuracy that can even be using its unique capability to adapt to the user's own handwriting style. smARTwriter allows the user to combine uppercase and lowercase characters, digits, punctuation marks and gestures without changing writing mode or designated writing areas, thus providing a paper-like writing experience. The smARTwriter software engine allows the user to write anywhere on the screen in the user's own handwriting-thus eliminating the need to learn special characters and gestures or write in fixed areas.

Designed with low processing power usage and low memory consumption, smARTwriter provides excellent integration with portable devices and various operating systems. With years of user experience, smARTwriter is a reliable, high-performance product that is easily ported to new environments.

A More Natural User Interface

Using smARTwriter, users can conveniently interact with electronic devices such as mobile phones, desktops, handheld organizers, digital pens and white boards. smARTwriter allows the user to customize the device to the user's own handwriting, improving recognition accuracy with additional use. smARTwriter also includes a gesture and macro capability that allows users to easily insert a signature in e-mail, open a calculator, open a file, and more.

With the performance, flexibility, and high accuracy users demand, smARTwriter's handwriting recognition engine enables powerful user interface designs that make products more responsive and intuitive.
