We’ve already covered Stantum and their quite promising multi-touch technology. Now we have more to add to their side. Along with Vision Objects, they are demonstrating multi-touch/handwriting recognition screens, which was produced as a result of combining the two companies’ technologies.
From the press release:
Integrating with Stantum’s multi-touch technology is Vision Objects’ MyScript, a handwriting recognition solution designed for any touch screen and optimized specifically for small-footprint platforms to provide high-accuracy recognition of more than 85 languages. Backed up by a simple, intuitive interface, users can write a message effortlessly with either their fingertips or a stylus and see their text instantly and accurately transcribed into digital text. MyScript not only recognizes all handwriting styles but also intuitive gestures that allow users to write naturally, insert spaces and line breaks, and easily correct text by editing gestures — from simple backspace gestures to natural scratch-outs.
Both parties seem optimistic about the new tech’s prospects. Vision Objects’ Jean-Marc Aichoun even said: “Indeed, we can now offer the new generation of electronic devices an unrivaled way of interaction and a great user experience that provides the fastest, most reliable way of entering data in a mobile device.”
More information is available from Stantum‘s and Vision Objects‘ websites.
