Alliance to bring handwritting recognition to the wireless web

16 Feb 2000 Computer/Embedded Technology

Communication Intelligence Corporation (CIC) is working on a joint development effort with QNX Software Systems to extend CIC's Jot handwriting recognition system to licensees of the QNX realtime operating system. This new development effort is a result of CIC's recent agreement with National Semiconductor which provides Jot for the Geode WebPAD, a QNX-based wireless Internet access device for the home or office.

Linda Cambell, Vice President of Strategic Alliances, QNX Software Systems, commented, "QNX provides a very complete and proven solution for Internet appliances. Jot will add a natural way to interact with these devices. Because QNX is a mission-critical OS, it will bring the Jot recogniser to high-reliability devices used in areas such as healthcare, insurance, manufacturing and field force automation."

Russ Davis, Vice President of Product Development for CIC stated, "We are pleased to work with QNX to provide support for their embedded windowing system. The microkernel design of their software and the small footprint, high-performance nature of Jot provides an ideal solution to meet the needs of the rapidly emerging Internet appliance market. With Jot integrated into the Photon microGUI, users can now easily enter text for basic e-mail and browsing."

Initial availability of Jot for QNX is expected to be made early this year on National Semiconductor's Geode WebPAD.
