Web Handwriting Recognition API

[Jiewei Qian]

Hello,

We (Chrome and Chrome OS) are working on a standardized Web API for handwriting recognition. The proposal is here: explainer.

The API would allow websites to access handwriting recognizers that's locally available on device (instead of sending the requests to cloud servers). It's currently implemented on Chrome OS (backed by the same technology in Google Cloud Vision API).

There's an article explaining its usage here: https://web.dev/handwriting-recognition/

Does the API interest you? We'd also like to hear your feedback on the API design.

Looks like the explainer link went missing in action. The article is the primary thing developers might want to read.

Dear All,
Thank you for positing. Currently, we’d like to get a better understanding of this project and for that purpose our CSO, Denis Manceau has contacted Tom Buckley (mentioned in the explainer section).
Best regards,
Olivier

Hi Olivier,

It looks like Tom Buckley is on an extended leave. Could you post your questions here, or, alternatively, email the mail you sent to Tom Buckley another time, but this time addressed to me, [e-mail], please?

Cheers,
Tom (Steiner)
