handwriting recognition

---

I tried installing handwriting recognition for sms (cant remember the programm), but removed it because it the screen wasn't responsive enough. I could only write a letter if i pushed down with my finger and not just with the tip. This is the same in gesture search which isnt so bad as you are only typing a couple of letters.

I've always had handwriting recognition since my SE P800 then P900 & X1. and it has always been really easy to use and responsive. was quite dissapointed that the X10 didnt have it as a standard feature for SMS out the box. Typing out msgs is a pain. Also tried the upgrade to the HTC keyboard which was better, but it says that after installing it, it could copy your passwords etc. So not to keen on using it.

Has anyone tried any handwriting recognition apps after removing the screen protector? or know of any good Apps?

Try using SlideIT. You slide your fingers over the letters and it works out which word you want to type. I can probably text quicker on my phone more than I can type on my keyboard. There's another product currently in beta test called swipe which will do the same thing. This thing make me smile every time I use it!!

Usually handwriting is not working (or at least not well enough) on capacitive touch.

On resistive is another matter

So, X10 has capacitive so, no, won't work as you expect it

One thing I do miss from my G900 is the handwriting recognition. I became quite expert with it and could certainly have written this text faster on my G900 than I have on my X10 !

So why all the hype about capacitive touch? for me its a big step backwards not having decent handrwriting recognition ability. I also could write alot quicker using it, after all whats more natural than writing. When the X1 came out with a physical keyboard I was quite dissapointed, it made the phone thicker than needed and gathered dust.

It seems to be what the public wants (or has got used to) I quite agree that handwriting recognition is far easier than touchscreen keyboards. My first thought on the iPhone was that it was inferior because it did not have the ability to do handwriting recognition, but the text input on the iPhone seems to have become industry standard...

Well, i have an 5800 XM nokia with resistive.
It has a stylus for handwriting ... i've never used it.

Also, on resistive the touch is not so ... smooth lets say.
You really have to press the screen

With capacitive a light touch is enough.

If you ask me, i prefer capacitive.
Way easier to use it ...

I find it the complete opposite with resistive I could use my nail, with capacitive I have to use my finger tip and press hard, which doesnt make good for quick writing. Ive had 3 SE phones with resistive. and my x10 & my walkman have capacitive.
