China drives handwriting recognition on Smartphones

In a recently published report, London-based research firm ARCchart predicts that by 2015, 22% of all mobile devices will support handwriting recognition.

ARCchart forecasts that 78% of all smartphones shipping into Asia will support HWR technology.

Due to the complex nature of the Chinese language – consisting of 20,000 characters - China presents the greatest demand for handwriting technology.
