handwriting recognition| Ability of a computer to accept handwritten input and turn it into digital data that can be processed and displayed or stored as ASCII characters on the computer screen. |
| In the 1990s, handwriting recognition was widely adopted for use on handheld computers, especially the ‘palmtop’ models which do not have a physical keyboard. In many cases users had to adopt a special script that the system would recognize. More advanced systems are now commonplace and able to recognise cursive (joined-up) handwriting without any special training required. |
