Pen&Internet releases handwriting recognition on Linux

Pen&Internet releases first natural handwriting recognition on Linux

riteForm now available for Linux with improved handwriting recognition and
new level of vocabulary customization

Sunnyvale, CA – August 3, 2004 – Pen&Internet®, LLC, a provider of advanced
handwriting and forms recognition technologies, today announced the release
of riteForm for Linux, marking the first natural handwriting recognition to
debut on the Linux platform. 

riteForm is an advanced recognition solution for processing handwritten forms
and notes on mobile pen-enabled devices. Targeted to the mobile enterprise
and small business markets, riteForm can operate locally or as a server-based
product. 

Pen&Internet's next-generation handwriting recognition engine (riteScript®)
understands any handwritten style, does not require learning or training, and
allows users to write continuously, in whole sentences, automatically
segmenting handwriting into words and lines. 

With the growing number of corporations using Linux-based servers, the
enterprise market has seen a growing demand for the same low-cost and
efficient computing systems on the front-end, including pen-enabled devices
requiring handwriting recognition. 

"Pen&Internet's cool riteScript technology running on Linux makes tablet PC's
running Linux viable for the first time," said Martin Fink, vice president of
Linux at HP, when seeing it for the first time running on a Linux tablet PC. 

With riteForm, users receive the most powerful and accurate, context
sensitive forms recognition, which takes into account the content of
individual forms fields. 

"We are delighted to be working with companies like HP to bring our third
generation handwriting recognition to the Linux platform," said Leonid
Kitainik, general manager for Pen&Internet. "This marks a new opportunity for
system integrators and enterprises to quickly and easily build advanced
mobile solutions, forms applications and services."

Key new riteForm for Linux features:
* New platform support: riteForm is now available both remotely and via
device-based recognition for Linux tablets. 
* Dynamic vocabulary support: Developers can now use an advanced level of
customization to build and modify vocabularies on the fly, reflecting the
changes in corporate data without compromising the quality of recognition. 
* Improved recognition accuracy: Provides further improvements to highly
accurate and unrestricted recognition of forms.
