Scanning Chinese Handwriting Improving Computer Use in China | |
Scanning Chinese Handwriting
Business Week has a great article about characters recognition entitled Handwriting Apps Emerge from Intel China. Since the chinese alphabet is much more complex than our western alphabet, this software scans hand written characters and converts them to their digital counterpart -- much quicker than mouse based approaches (do they have keyboards?) The creators recognise the need for voice recognition, but they estimate it's another 5 years away... at least ;) |

I remember seeing a chinese (or japanese) keyboard in a book years ago. The thing was enormous! I mean truly, humongously big. It was just a bit smaller than a draftsmans drawing board. This was a long time ago though so no doubt they will have shrunk considerably since then. |
