Vision Objects says its MyScript handwriting recognition technology for devices running embedded Linux and other OSes now supports 70 languages. MyScript Lingo supports 16 languages in cursive writing mode, while MyScript Letra supports 70 languages when letters are printed one at a time, according to the company.

Both MyScript products aim to help developers add “natural handwriting” as an input method for a variety of messaging and PIM (personal information management) applications, Vision Objects says. Supported languages include Asian, Cyrillic, and Latin-based languages used in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, according to the company.

CEO Stefan Knerr stated, “With this new release Vision Objects [provides] the most accurate handwriting recognition technology for the largest range of languages on the market.”
