[Q] How to train the handwriting recognition?

[kosmarnik]

Hi,
Finally bit the bullet and got a Note 2 to replace my aging HD2

Back to the problem, how does one train the Samsung keyboard to recognize my handwriting?
Currently it's crap,

Coming from a PC tablet with Vista/win7 where after some training, it could read my handwriting better than me, I'm massively disappointing and confused.

Searching around, it seems like it's not possible, and people recommend just learning to write the Samsung way
I though we left that crap behind back in the Palm era.

I did try WritePad briefly as it seems even crappier than Samsung's one.

Is there anything else, a hack, mod, another 3rd party software?

Unfortunately, Samsung is known for making thounsands of things that don't work as we expect.

Well I do hope they or a 3rd party dev will pick up the slack.
Having hadwriting recognition without possibility to train it is mind boggling.
It's like they're just using OCR algorithms which is stupid, and still, training would help even there.

I find the handwriting recognition great. I have very little trouble.

Too bad your handwriting is probably different from the OP. like him I actually hare to print rather than actually write when I'm using the handwriting input mode and it does slow me down a bit. I'll write a sentence and then realise that I need to go back again and change two or three things in the sentence because they have been detected incorrecty. Overall it's just plain faster to use Swype style input on the keyboard.
