Vision ObjectsMyScript Builder Embedded is the only solution on the market able to recognize truly natural handwriting on Linux and Symbian Operating Systems. This Software Development Kit is designed for integration of handwriting recognition capabilities into small footprint platforms such as PDAs, Internet Tablets and Smartphones. It recognizes all handwriting styles in a wide range of languages and addresses markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

MyScript Builder Embedded helps manufacturers to create user-friendly, fast and interactive pen based text input methods for a wide range of Personal Information Management applications varying from sending e-mails or SMS messages, to contact management and note taking using the handset to provide interactivity and feedback.

MyScript Builder Embedded provides natural handwriting recognition technology that imposes no writing constraints on users with virtually no learning curve. It includes the recognition of gestures that allows mobile users to write naturally, to insert spaces and line breaks, and to easily correct text by removing characters with a simple and intuitive gesture. This is particularly useful for entering text messages or notes with a stylus on the mobile device.

One of the most innovative aspects of MyScript Builder Embedded 1.2 is its capacity to integrate the use of bi-class language models. Bi-class models calculate the probability of pairs of words occurring together in order to increase overall accuracy. This release also supports a new language pack for Norwegian.

In addition to Symbian and Windows CE, MyScript Builder Embedded 1.2 now also runs on Linux. The support of a wide range of operating systems allows mobile device manufacturers to integrate MyScript handwriting recognition in most platforms, and thereby guarantees the same user experience in any environment. Even proprietary operating systems can be supported on demand.

MyScript Builder Embedded is currently part of the Nokia Digital Pen Suite, enabling handwritten notes to be sent via S60 devices or Series 80 communicators.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
