Chinese Handwriting Recognition

TGIF !!! It's time for my weekly blog. Let me tell you...blogging is a great way to relieve your stress away from work and focus on something different. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing.

Last night, while waiting for my wife to come back from work (she's been working till 11+ for the past few nights..sigh), I was browsing AppleiPhoneSchool on my iphone, i read up a recommendation on a handwriting app. This web site is a great place to visit regularly, it really goes through the many apps that were release on installer and recommends them.

This app is call : HWPen and is available from the iphone Cake source.
The source address : http://iphonecake.com/src/all

Once you install it from the installer, you will activate it from anytime you need to enter info through the keyboard. This is great for those of you who prefers to write in Chinese rather than PinYin. You use your fingers to scribble on the screen. The word recognition is really good and I reckon it is at least 95% correct most of the time in trying to decipher what I am writing.

This is one of the better apps I have seen and it is still in Beta. One work to describe it : Outstanding !!!
