handwritten support for words. #17

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi.  I would like to be able to hand write words consisting of multiple kanji 
and kana.  Once the word is written I would look up the definition.  This 
feature can be found in stand alone electronic dictionaries and an electronic 
dictionary for the Nintendo DS.

This feature also implies that the program would automaticly guess what kanji 
was written but when the user tapped on the kanji they are presented with a 
list of suggestions.

This feature also implies users can handwrite kana as well.

Additionally, being able to delete or enter a chatrcter at any point in the 
word would be helpfull for people who make typos.

Thanks for reading!

How much are you willing to pay for this?

Seriously, implementing this would require a full blown handwriting recognition 
engine. There is none available for Android (or as a Web service) as far as I 
know. I could probably whip something using OCR, but that wouldn't be too 
usable. 

I'm leaving this open, but probably not doable in the near future. If you have 
any concrete ideas what can be used to implement this, do let me know.
