(Redirected from Handwriting recognition)
Intelligent Word Recognition, IWR is a separate designation from OCR and usually a separate application that will recognize handwritten documents and will separate words even in languages that do not use space between the words.
[edit] Overview
Many eBook readers allow the user to hand write notes on the documents, however there is seldom the ability to recognize the text being written and convert it to electronic text. This is relative new technology to read and recognize this text.
An example of a product that both reads and supports handwritten text is ReMarkable. It converts handwritten notes to typed text.
