HWPen: iPhone Handwriting Application

Tuesday April 15, 2008 11:26 pm PDT by Arnold Kim

A Modmyifone forum post reveals a beta version of a handwriting recognition application called HWPen available for Jailbroken iPhones. The application was reportedly developed by Hanwang.com.cn. It appears the same software is also available for the Palm OS.

Based on early comments, it appears the recognition for Western characters still needs a bit of tweaking.

Anyone else wondering what in the hell is going on in that iPhones titlebar display? I've never seen one that crazy. A flashing mail icon would be great. Sometimes I have my phone set to vibrate and don't feel it, and when reopened its still in safari and I don't see the (1) new message icon. Is the heart some sort of wifi indicator that goes three sizes? I'm confused.

well we know they hacked the hell out of their phone. I hope this or a similar app comes out for an official release. Looks nice though. Looking forward.

I have no interest in handwriting recognition software for the iphone.

How, exactly, is trying to write with your finger on a small screen going to be an advantage over typing on a keyboard???

Possibly if you are not looking at the screen as you write. I often jot down notes without looking at my paper. The only problem is that later you have notes full of weird spellings and random characters.

I think it needs THREE "123" buttons. Two is insufficient.
