The excerpt above is from an Apple job ad, spotted by Engadget, looking for a Handwriting Recognition Engineer, and mentioning the possibility that the recongition technology to be worked on may extend to the iPhone.
That would be sweet. That is the one thing (apart from 3G) that I probably miss most in the iPhone. I know, most people hate using a stylus and don’t usually care much for the typical handwriting recognition apps found on PDAs and smartphones. I only want a stylus and handwriting recognition for one purpose – just to take notes, really quickly. I don’t want to fumble around tyring to tap menus or buttons or any of that jazz – just want a faster note-taking method – and I have always been much, much quicker with letter recognizer sort of apps than with any keyboard – whether it was the Treo’s, an HTC slide-out, or the iPhone’s virtual one.
Anybody else have any use for this on the iPhone?
