Computer technology is advancing ever faster and new research is being conducted and products are being sold on the market all the time. It wasn't too many years ago that we dreamed of the day we could just talk to a computer and it would translate our words into text. The same thing for technology that would allow us to transfer the written word into typed text by computer handwriting recognition. Today, these options are available and their quality and performance is constantly improving and their capabilities growing all the time.

Handwriting recognition is the technology that allows the written word to be received and understood by a computer which translates it into text on the screen. This technology has been around for years, but it is currently available at such a high quality that it is widely used by many, especially on PDAs.

There are two kinds of handwriting recognition; on-line and off-line. In on-line, the text is written on a touch sensitive surface,or handwriting recognition tablet, with a special pen or stylus, which is then translated onto the display screen. This is done while you write. Off-line recognition involves the scanning of papers or documents which have already been written and are translated into print. The typical user would use on-line, whereas a business or organization that has to transfer large numbers of handwritten documents into computer would make good use of off-line.

There are a number of different types of handwriting recognition software that you can use. For years nearly every PDA or hand held computer has been fitted with a handwriting recognition program and include a sensory pad and stylus for writing. This is a quick and easy way to input information with the need for an entire bulky keyboard and in a faster way for most people than when a keypad is displayed on the screen.
