    Public domain recognition software

  • Xscribble Xscribble is an X application that allows a user of a touch screen to input characters into X applications, using a uni-stroke (graffiti like) alphabet. It uses the X test extension to allow synthesis of characters as though they had been typed on a keyboard. It is the X version of the scribble program.
