Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00629, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Suen, Ching (Concordia University)|Suen, Ching (Université Concordia), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : We propose to develop a software solution for the company Quirklogic which produces a large tablet. The goal_x000D_
is to enable handwriting recognition on a large format device to minimize or eliminate the dependency of_x000D_
keyboard entries as an input method and substitute it with random handwritten text entries._x000D_
First, we shall identify QL's handwriting recognition needs, e.g. the recognition of numerals and symbols at_x000D_
different locations of the tablet provided by the company. Second, we shall find out available technologies that_x000D_
could be useful for this purpose. In this process, we shall conduct research on the extraction of features for the_x000D_
recognition of characters entered at different locations on the tablet. At the same time, we shall also contact_x000D_
selected technology vendors and verify compatibility and implementation requirements through experiments._x000D_
Based on the results, we shall recommend the use of our results (recognition software), or the use of_x000D_
commercial software, or a combination of both our results plus the use of commercial software for handwriting_x000D_
