Vision Objects brings handwriting recognition to Livescribe’s Pulse
smartpen
4 March 2008
Vision Objects has integrated its MyScript handwriting recognition
into Livescribe's Pulse smartpen and desktop application.
The Pulse smartpen captures handwriting and simultaneously records
spoken information (eg lectures or conversations) while writing,
ensuring the user doesn't miss a word. Users can tap directly on their
paper notes and hear the corresponding sequence of the audio recording.
The system can search for words in handwritten text, and increases
productivity by converting handwritten text into digital information.
Under a partnership agreement, Livescribe will distribute MyScript Notes
for Pulse as an add-on application. Other applications include a
translation tool that converts English into a wide range of languages
and a calculator that carries out simple mathematical operations just by
writing them down on paper.
