Mobile Phone Handwriting Recognition: Market Analysis and Forecasts
ARCchart, Nov 2010, Pages: 42
An examination of the handwriting recognition suppliers, technology innovations and use-cases, along with a discussion of the forces promoting and factors hindering the adoption of the technology on mobile phones.
The ability for a mobile phone to recognise natural handwriting - drawn using a finger or a stylus - is a powerful and compelling feature. While most handset users have become proficient at using a keypad or keyboard to input text, there are several use-cases for which handwriting recognition has advantages, the most important being the input of script based languages such as Chinese Japanese and Korean. ARCchart predicts that by 2015, 22% of all mobile devices will support handwriting recognition.
As a proportion of overall handsets, handwriting recognition is currently a niche feature, however, ARCchart has identified several drivers which are likely to push adoption over the coming years - the most important being the growth of touchscreen devices and the increasing demand for handwriting recognition capability from countries which use a script based language. Due to the complex nature of the Chinese language – consisting of 20,000 characters - China presents the greatest demand for handwriting technology. We forecast that 78% of all smartphones shipping into Asia will support HWR technology.
