[NTLK] Re. Handwriting recognition on the iPad

[Terence Griffin]

I'm a huge fan of the Swype keyboard. I tried ShapeWriter on my iPod 
Touch and liked it, but it was not a full keyboard replacements. Their 
Notes program was free. They had other PIMs, email, address book, 
calendar. Each one added to the cost.

Then when I my Android phone, I installed Swype. It is very good. After 
using it for some time, the swiping out of words feel a lot like writing 
the words in cursive, but not obviously not that shape. aside from that 
learning curve, it feels very much like HWR. Maybe Tapose could add a 
swipe keyboard...

The two fellows that started the tapose project were fans of the courier project and one of their biggest sponsor's was one of the engineers on the courier project. That said I have not seen anything on their website or in the videos where it states that it will have HWR. What it does though is pretty good and most people should have a look at it (http://tapose.com/features/). I have been waiting for this to get to the app store but Apple seems to be in no rush, which is a shame. On the other side of the coin there are some rumours that maybe apple wants to buy tapose and hire the two developers but like everything time will tell. I too am in the mean time maybe going to look into Notes Plus....
