MyScript

What is MyScript?

MyScript develops handwriting recognition and sells it in two ways: as apps and as developer SDKs. MyScript Notes lets people write with a pen or finger and convert handwriting to typed text and shapes, with web sharing at notes.myscript.com. MyScript Math solves handwritten equations, plots graphs that update as values change, and supports variables. For developers, the iink SDK handles text, math with about 250 symbols, diagrams with about 20 connectors and shapes, and music with 100+ symbols, in more than 60 languages for form filling. Cloud recognition for web apps includes 2,000 free requests, and on-device recognition offers 25 free licenses for development, with deployment licenses available on request. Organizations can buy MyScript Notes licenses in packs starting at 100 at 12 euros each per year. MyScript Math is paid only with a 7-day free trial, and store prices vary by region.
