Calligrapher Reviewer Shocked - Finds Program "Almost Always Right"
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 05:53 AM
"Every once in a while, I get to test out a program that completely surprises me. The latest example of this was PhatWare’s Calligrapher. I am not typically a fan of handwriting recognition software. Frankly, my handwriting is such a mess that they rarely work for me and tend to take more time to fix the "misunderstandings". For this reason, I had been somewhat hesitant to review Calligrapher. Much to my surprise, however, Calligrapher was able to recognize even the sloppiest handwriting and translated it into typed text with amazing accuracy."
Doug at JustAnotherMobileMonday admits that he didn't think Calligrapher was going to impress him on the way into his review, but finished with a new appreciation for handwriting recognition. I've used Calligrapher in the past and have had very good experiences myself - but still haven't up'ed it to "Must have" status. Why? Well, the fact that all my current devices have a keyboard may be behind it. However with newer and sleeker keyboard-less models on the way, Calligrapher may be poised to further make it's mark. What do you think?
