Comments on: Handwriting Recognition is iPad’s Next Hurdle http://www.ciodashboard.com/apple/handwriting-recognition-ipad-hurdle/ IT Strategies for CIOs and IT leaders Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:10:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris Curran http://www.ciodashboard.com/apple/handwriting-recognition-ipad-hurdle/comment-page-1/#comment-31117 Chris Curran Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:26:00 +0000 http://www.ciodashboard.com/?p=2613#comment-31117 Thanks for your thoughts Magnus. I too have continued to experiment with typewritten, handwritten and recognized inputs with the iPad over the last year, using no fewer than 20 apps in this space. I have found that I'm most productive with handwritten notes and drawings w/o recognition.  What I would like, however, is the note taker to do some recognition behind the scenes to build a keyword list.  I know that Evernote is supposed to be able to do this but I have not been able to get it to work for my handwriting yet :). -Chris Thanks for your thoughts Magnus.

Apple needs two things: 1 standrd input via handwriting recognition and a stylus. Does anyone remember the Palm's letter system? Took a little time to learnbut the accuracy was always way better than any other writing system and that is what we need to create content. 2 have a touch typing mode for the onscreen keyboard. Allow me to rest all my fngers on the keyboard and then figure out that I picked one up and hit another letter. A bit of fuzzy logic and knowing Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing and it would work. Give me these two things and I can now take my iPad into a requirements meeting, and take actual notes in realtime and then share them (spell checked and formatted) with others. Using blutooth several of us could collaborate on the same document and also have access to our personal notes and other information I agree with the article, the iPad is a killer way to consume information but lousy for creating it.
