[NTLK] Handwriting recognition

[Nils-Erik Gustafsson]

PhatPad (for the iPad) has very impressive handwriting recognition, done "post script".

It offers recognition of a number of additional languages, even Swedish! And it has Newton-like shape recognition of triangles, circles and rectangles.

Best regards from Stockholm,

Nils-Erik
