A recent post by Portrait with Apples talking about handwriting recognition using a stylus I brought to mind one thing that I wrote two years ago and I have recovered 's occasion, entitled "invisible ink"
I do not know how many of the players we have had in his hands an Apple Newton . I used it in 1997, fifteen days before it was withdrawn from the market. It is therefore worthwhile to remember that it was a hand-held computer, perhaps the first, with touch screen the ability to touch and handwriting recognition. It was a revolutionary device and many of its features have not yet arrived on modern operating systems such as the ability to process data as universal to all applications, just as he would a notebook or smart, rather, magic, Harry Potter.
The only fault of Newton was to be ahead of its time, when the market a device that is still not needed (although I remain of the opinion that the 2100 Newton was withdrawn the very same week that he started to have success ). At the end of the nineties instead met market success Palm, Handheld another, vastly more modest in characteristics and demands, but also in size and price. Later, with the revolution of mobile phones the "intelligent" features have been incorporated into the handheld smart phones, and it is likely that Newton will return to live in a future edition of the iPhone evolved.
One thing, however, the small U.S. Robotics Palm Newton was higher: in the comfort of writing. The fundamental difference is that while Newton claimed to understand human nature writing (this is often difficult for the human race itself) and even to guess the words written by searching a dictionary (with often humorous results), the small Palm was content to teach user Graffiti writing this and to require him to use that. Palm
then put together by combining the letters and words do not pretend to understand them. Empirical evidence shows, Graffiti alphabet was a very simple and intuitive to master, and after ten minutes the user was able to write quickly and accurately on their electronic tablet. When Palm introduced the Graffiti 2, trying to allow the user to write more naturally, the level of error in handwriting recognition grew to the point of making irritating to write with a handheld.
It is said that the development of Newton never ceased to Apple, and is probably under way in laboratories bunker iPhone ed iPod , ed i risultati saranno prima o poi sotto gli occhi di tutti. Ma una parte del DNA del Newton originale fa parte da tempo del codice di Mac OS. Si chiama Ink (inchiostro) e permette di scrivere non attraverso una tastiera, ma una penna appoggiata ad una tavoletta, di quelle usate dai grafici. Io ho una modesta tavoletta Wacom che risale ai tempi dei primi iMac (infatti รจ di color strawberry) ma funziona perfettamente, e di tanto in tanto, quando mi prende la nostalgia del Newton, mi diverto a scrivere qualche cosa “a mano”.
hello I am a Mac to I Understand Your Wr, 'ting
hello i SOHO A Mac Ia and I understand your scriltuza
(English works better because Ink includes dictionaries English, German and French - not the Italian one).
To write the blog maybe you should continue to use the keyboard, unless you implement the Graffiti ... ;-)
