MyScript Builder’s main features
- Text recognition
- Handwriting variations: MyScript Builder ME takes into account variation in handwriting like slanted or oversized characters.
- Language specificities:The recognizer takes into account a large amount of language specificities:
- Characters:some languages are based on alphabets (e.g. English, Greek, Cyrillic), others use ideograms (e.g. Chinese or Japanese),
- Mix of Asian languages with English cursive handwriting: MyScript recognizes cursive English when combined with Asian languages (Simplified and traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean).
- Writing directions: language can be written in different directions (left to right, right to left),
- Japanese vertical writing: MyScript identifies and converts
Japanese vertical writing.
- Japanese vertical writing: MyScript identifies and converts
- Characters:some languages are based on alphabets (e.g. English, Greek, Cyrillic), others use ideograms (e.g. Chinese or Japanese),
- Confidence scores: MyScript provides a list of candidates with confidence scores at a character and word level that indicate recognition quality.
- Character subset: list of expected characters in a given application. By using a character subset, possible ambiguities between characters are avoided.
- Data formats: Pre-defined Data Formats are available within MyScript Builder such as phone numbers, dates and email addresses. Tools are also provided to create your own application-specific Data Formats.
- Handwritten text correction: MyScript Builder ME can detect erasures of text (crossing outs, strikethroughs, double-strikethroughs, scratch outs), text insertion or ink incidents.
- Optimized isolated character recognition: In boxed fields, MyScript Builder ME treats spelling distortion (superfluous, omitted or substituted characters), erased characters and out-of-lexicon words.
- Interactive handwriting: MyScript recognizes intuitive gestures, circled characters to make handwritten text even more interactive. For example, to a circled piece of text you can attach the action "send text as an email".
MyScript Builder Extensions
You can develop any handwriting recognition-based functionalities with MyScript Builder Mobile Edition, but to help you improve development cost and speed and reduce time to market, Vision Objects has prepared building blocks for special market needs.
- MyScript Trainer extension:Although MyScript provides very high recognition accuracy scores, MyScript Trainer can improve recognition for people whose writing style differs from the "average" by creating a custom writing profile.
- MyScript InkSearch extension: to create a search engine that indexes pages of handwriting and allows for searching these pages without explicitly converting them into text.
- MyScript Text Input Method extension: to create text input methods, or real-time handwriting recognition applications.
