When Lenovo first introduced WRITEit in 2015, we had a simple goal: make it fun and easy to use your pen-based machines. We wanted to create an experience that went above and beyond what the base operating system offered by letting users freely insert their handwriting into any field that would normally only accept text based input.
Developing handwriting recognition into apps can increase their value, especially among users with pen-enabled devices. WRITEit now makes it simple for developers to allow screen handwriting in their apps.
Curious about WRITEit but want to see the technology in action before developing with it?
You can see how WRITEit functions in several apps that may be on your system running Windows 8.1. Check out the list of compatible Windows desktop and Modern style applications that you can test drive with WRITEit.
One of the common questions from developers is what the benefits are of implementing WRITEit into their apps. The WRITEit technology is designed to give users of your app seamless pen support and another way to interact wherever input is required. In this two-part post series, we will share ideas for developing with WRITEit.
