About MyScript Builder SE

MyScript Builder Standard Edition (SE) is a Software Development Kit (SDK) for integration of handwriting recognition capabilities in a wide range of applications requiring text entry from form processing to notes management.

The SDK is available for Windows, Linux or Mac OS platforms and can be used with a wide range of text input devices such as digital pens, tablet PCs or interactive whiteboards.

Based on MyScript technology, MyScript Builder SE reliably recognizes natural handwriting including:

Key benefits of MyScript handwriting recognition

  • Comfort & ease of use: MyScript gives the comfort of entering text through natural handwriting, without changing writing habits.
  • Time saving & cost efficient: No more retyping of handwritten information. MyScript offers a time saving and cost efficient solution to applications requiring free text entry.
  • Immediate availability of data: The use of MyScript considerably improves workflow as handwritten information is immediately available for use in back-end applications.
  • Extended possibilities: Vision Objects proposes extension SDKs that add more power and wider possibilities to MyScript Builder. These extension SDKs help optimize MyScript Builder SE for specific application types, such as form processing, notes management and many more.
  • Customizable offer: In addition to our standard offer for standard platforms, our engineers can adapt MyScript technology to your specific market needs (eg: for the form processing market, Vision Objects developed functionalities to manage writing errors and ink incidents to assist with result validation).

MyScript Builder’s main features

  • Text recognition
  • Handwriting variations: MyScript Builder SE takes into account variation in handwriting like slanted or oversized characters.
  • Language specificities: MyScript Builder SE 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.
  • 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 business-specific Data Formats.
  • Handwritten text correction: MyScript Builder SE 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 SE 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 Standard 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 Builder SE product offering

 

  • 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.
