Infotainment systems are becoming increasingly popular with vehicle owners and look set to be a major automotive growth area in the future. This trend involves distinct challenges in the aftermarket and the original equipment market, including the integration of navigation facilities.

With MyScript technology, Vision Objects proposes an innovative and original way to control these in-car infotainment consoles: through handwriting.

With MyScript multilingual handwriting recognition technology, drivers can write characters, digits or draw gestures with their fingertips on a touchpad or a touch screen integrated in the car to easily enter a destination, a telephone number or note down any information.

MyScript makes in-car text entry more efficient and secure and gives high accuracy results as it integrates tightly with geographical data bases provided by navigation system developers. Also, MyScript can be combined with text-to-speech recognition to offer a multi-modal user interface, contributing to the dynamism of the constantly growing in-car infotainment market.
