Spokane, Washington – PhatWare Corporation, a leading professional software and application developer, announces today the immediate availability of the new version of WritePad handwriting recognition Software Development Kit (SDK) for Apple iOS. The WritePad SDK 5.0 is now optimized for the iOS 8.2 providing native support for arm, armv-v7, and arm64 CPUs as well as iOS simulator.

New features in the WritePad SDK 5.0
* Improved handwriting recognition quality and support for Indonesian language
* Added new API to recognize individual characters, numbers, and punctuation symbols
* Improved sample code targets latest version of iOS

WritePad SDK Features:
* Recognizes natural handwritten text in a variety of handwriting styles: cursive (script), PRINT and MIXed
* Recognizes dictionary words from its main or user-defined dictionary, as well as non-dictionary words, such as names, numbers and mixed alphanumeric combinations
* Supports 12 languages, including English (US, UK), Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Spanish, and Swedish
* Provides automatic segmentation of handwritten text into words and automatically differentiates between vocabulary and non-vocabulary words, and between words and arbitrary alphanumeric strings
