Apple has posted a new job opening, demanding Handwriting Recognition Engineer. The person should be well versed in pattern recognition, C/C++ coding, Cocoa programming, be familiar with hidden markov model and neural net algorithms. The primary are of focus will be on handwriting technology, but the ad notes that the development may go beyond Mac OS X and the iPhone.

This is really good news, since many people complained about touch screen keyboard and this may add an alternative input method which will make the device more versatile and accepted by a bigger group of people.

Thanks: DailyTech

    Can anybody say “Newton”? I had one 15 years ago, so handwritting recognition is not going to be a big deal.

    Hi Abe,

    I might be a bit biased, but I think that Newton’s ghost can finally be at peace — iPhone withstood the initial test and after 5 million sold units in a handful of countries, and with a whole bunch of new changes to the actual device and it’s ecosystem it might become something like the Star Trek Tricorder:)
