Arabic Handwriting Text Recognition
| In a nutshell! | Write Arabic in cursive letters by hand on any touchscreen |
| What is it? | Handwriting input tools allow you to manually draw or handwrite Arabic text – using a stylus or your hand – on your a touchscreen enabled mobile or tablet. Your writing is converted into text through Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) and both printed and cursive writing is supported. These tools are very intuitive and they are useful alternatives to touchscreen typing or voice input. The tools available are pretty good at deciphering your handwriting (no matter how terrible it may be!). It is also a fun way to enter emojis by drawing. |
