Oct 04, 2014  To write with MyScript Stylus as you write a traditional pen, MyScript Stylus recognizes natural gestures to insert words, spaces, line breaks, to split or join words and also delete text. Dec 17, 2013 - I tried MyScript Stylus: There is also tegaki-recognize and cellwriter sudo.

MyScript Stylus is a handwriting recognition software that easily installs in Ubuntu 8.04, 9.04 10.04, 10.10, 11.04 and 12.04. It is not open source or free-ware though. However, you can download a free trial version fully that fully functions for 30 days, After the trial period, you'll have to activate the software in order to keep using it.

It supports most western and Asian languages including Chinese Traditional and Simplified, Japanese and Korean. After installing the main program you simply have to install the additional language package and then the language you want to use. The download page only mentions to download the additional language package for ubuntu 8.04 but all the later Ubuntu versions will need this as well.

I installed it on Ubuntu 9.04, 10.04, 10.10 and 12.04 and there weren't any problems except you have to force closing it in Ubuntu 12.04 BETA. I usually do not advertise for proprietary software but this is the only handwriting input method that is equivalent to those applications available in Windows. Especially the Chinese input replacing the need for using a keyboard is something I really like to use. Here is the download link if interested.
