Paragon PenReader is an advanced handwriting recognition technology designed for mobile devices. The project has a long history, starting from early PDAs (Apple Newton, Palm OS) to modern smartphones.

Key features:

  • Multilingual support: Recognition support for over 40 languages, including complex scripts.
  • Input modes: Support for Cursive writing, Letter-by-Letter input, and Letter-on-Letter for small screens.
  • Adaptability: The system learns the user's handwriting features, improving accuracy over time.
  • Cross-platform core: The recognition core, written in C++, ensured high performance on the limited resources of mobile processors of that time (Windows Mobile, Symbian, early Android).
