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 ;) | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Wednesday 12 June, 15:15 Reply
kb 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. | fup 51 posts. Friday 14 June, 12:46 Reply
