PhatWare Corporation has announced the immediate availability of the second version of WritePad handwriting recognition Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS.

It is currently available in 4 languages, including English, German, French, and Spanish with more languages to be announced soon.

"Recent success of WritePad handwriting recognition application for iPad and iPhone prompted wide response from developers interested in extending functionality of their applications by adding handwriting recognition based text input.", said Stan Miasnikov, president of PhatWare Corp.

WritePad SDK Features
* Recognizes natural handwritten text in a variety of handwriting styles: cursive (script), PRINT and MIXed.
* Recognizes dictionary words from its main or user-defined dictionary, as well as non-dictionary words, such as names, numbers and mixed alphanumeric combinations.
* Provides automatic segmentation of handwritten text into words and automatically differentiates between vocabulary and non-vocabulary words, and between words and arbitrary alphanumeric strings.
* Does not require a user to train the software and allows for most users to achieve high accuracy right "out of the box".
* Reliably recognizes handwriting in English (US, UK), French, German, and Spanish languages.


WritePad SDK includes handwriting recognition engine static libraries and dictionaries for all supported languages, API header files, documentation, and useable sample code allowing easy integration with new or existing iOS applications.
