Oh hey, it’s Graffiti! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti_(Palm_OS)
That Alan Kay video is unreal. It took h/w and materials engineering a fairly long time to catch up with the visionaries.
I can remember the early days of OCR and handwriting recognition. At that time, it was a difficult problem. Things have changed.
what is the state of the art now, that runs on-device? the article didn't mention the Q$ family, but I haven't found anything better than that plus mixing/co-judging with a dynamic-time-warping based approach
I found that AI can even decipher Suetterlin! Oh well, so much for my secret handwriting.
I tried to search for Q$ but google returned no results. What is it?
For my handwriting, the ParaGraph engine inside Evernote worked perfectly. I believe it's the same system that the US postal service uses.

That looks pretty limited.
