Handwriting Recognition Languages for Windows 7

A commenter on our last post about handwriting recognition in Windows 7 asked if it only works in English. The answer from the Windows 7 MSDN blog is quite impressive, so we thought that we should post it.

Windows Vista handwriting recognizers are available for 12 languages, including

  • USA English
  • UK English – Yes, the English recognisers are actually different and localised
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Italian
  • Dutch
  • Brazilian Portuguese
  • Chinese (Simplified and Traditional)
  • Japanese
  • Korean

So that’s what is already available now.

Traditional Chinese recognition - recognized input.

We are planning to ship new and improved languages for Windows 7, including:

  • Norwegian
  • Swedish
  • Finnish
  • Danish
  • Russian
  • Polish

That is what’s coming with the release of Windows 7 – very soon…and the list continues to grow!
