Handwriting Recognition Software

o o Two major phases Handwriting Transcription Handwriting Recognition

Handwriting transcription

Acceleration signals Transcription result

Communication with other devices o Earlier communication is through radio transmitter o Currently it is done via a cable and an ‘inkwell’ o Future models provide wireless facility

Memory

• 4MB EEPROM • Capacity- 10 pages

Power

• AAA Battery (44.5mm long,10.5mm in diameter & 11.5gm in weight) • Run for 25 hrs on single battery • Automatic power on/off system

Application

• Used as ordinary pen(ink catridge) • Replace keyboard with Smart Quill • Handheld comp application(alarm,clock,contacts) • the wireless messaging system which allows two way communications • voice record and supports speech recognition.

Advantages

"Spatial Sensing" system Intuitive user interface Security Handwriting recognition Signature verification Power saving Smart Quill is all mobile

Conclusion

 The future of Smart Quill ensures all computation power the user needs right inside the pen.  Reducing the size of handheld computers can only be taken so far before they become unusable.

 The introduction of Smart Quill is the best solution for this problem.
