The field of handwritten character recognition has experienced a paradigm shift with the incorporation of neural network methodologies. These approaches have revolutionised traditional optical ...

For most of our history, handwriting was the primary means of communicating and information organization. But for the sake of efficiency and time, mechanical and digital technology has slowly begun ...

When training neural networks to recognise things, what you need is a big pile of training data. You then need a subsequent pile of testing data to verify that the network is working as you’d expect.

The message is indeed the medium, but sometimes this concept gets lost in the exuberance of the breakneck pace of technology development. Whatever the form of your favorite computer--whether it sits ...

The rise of artificial intelligence technology along with machine and deep learning are opening up almost limitless possibilities. There is also an element of fear towards this exponential growth. But ...

The puzzle technology startup has developed a new technology called TouchWrite that can convert handwritten letters and numbers into digital on-screen versions. CNET contributor Don Reisinger is a ...

A pair of patent applications published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Thursday reveal Apple is investigating the use of heuristics in its mobile devices to deliver a more realistic ...

Having tried handwriting recognition in Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles over the past several years, I’ve always regarded the feature as a novelty rather than a necessity. For me, it ranks below ...

There are quite a few iOS productivity apps with handwriting recognition functionality available, for example Notes Plus, iWriteWords for kids, or (indirectly) Evernote. But recognizing handwritten ...

Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) has undergone a transformative evolution with the advent of neural network architectures. These approaches address the inherent variability of individual handwriting ...

In a move that could have interesting implications for the future of its non-Latin audience, Google Translate has brought handwriting recognition – first introduced in its Android app – to the web. In ...
