The image of the written text may be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper by optical scanning (optical character recognition). software, simpliWrite, immediately converts written text and sends it straight to any bluetooth-enabled mobile device, helping realize advanced services like SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files. See HSM. (2) (Systems Management Server) Systems management software from Microsoft that runs on Windows NT Server. , MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) An enhanced transmission service that enables graphics, video clips and sound files to be transmitted via cellphones. Developed as part of the 3GPP project, MMS phones are generally backward compatible with SMS and EMS. and IM, and opening a new world of mobile communications for customers. This out of the box solution requires no special connection and works with any device. "We are very excited to present a complete offering of a Bluetooth-enabled VPen with ART's excellent simpliWrite software at CommunicAsia," says Gilad Lederer, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of OTM Technologies. "By connecting the VPen, integrated with ART's embedded handwriting recognition software, to any Bluetooth-enabled device, we believe that we have defined a new paradigm New Paradigm In the investing world, a totally new way of doing things that has a huge effect on business. Notes: The word "paradigm" is defined as a pattern or model, and it has been used in science to refer to a theoretical framework. for mobile user interfaces, that will change the way people interact with the digital world." "ART are proud that OTM Technologies decided to integrate ART's simpliWrite handwriting recognition software in the VPen," says Eran Aharonson, President of ART Advanced Recognitions Technologies, Inc. "The fact that simpliWrite is embedded in the VPen digital pen is a vote of confidence for us as a leader in handwriting recognition technologies and another milestone in the excellent working relationships between our companies." About OTM's VPen OTM Technologies' VPen(TM) is a pen-shaped input device based on the VPen-core that enables full interaction with a handset or any other data terminal, including text input and editing, gaming, drawing and continuous screen navigation and selection. With an OTM sensor at its tip, the motion of the pen across any surface is measured in three dimensions and streamed to the target device in real time. Best described as a combination of mouse and pen, the VPen holds enormous potential in the mobile data environment as the only truly mobile tool replacing the keyboard/keypad & mouse configuration, thereby offering a complete user-interaction experience. About ART's simpliWrite simpliWrite is a market-proven minimal memory / CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. requirement software-only solution, designed to provide fast and accurate text-input for the new generation of keyboard-less devices. ART's unique, intuitive handwriting recognizer identifies the user's own natural writing, freeing them from the need to learn & employ cumbersome, unnatural pre-determined letter-shapes. Creating a near zero learning curve, simpliWrite is another step towards the ultimate out-of-the-box user experience. Thanks to simpliWrite's breakthrough technology, users are also no longer limited to writing on just a tiny portion of what is usually already small a screen. ART's advanced handwriting recognition solution permits data-input from the whole of an available screen area -- and, with continuous, on-the-fly recognition at natural writing speeds allowing for immediate correction, ART's recognition solutions are by far the most convenient available. About OTM Technologies Ltd. OTM Technologies Ltd., founded in 1998, develops, manufactures and markets its OTM(TM) technology based products. The Optical Translation Measurement technology allows for measurement of the relative motion between an OTM(TM) sensor and practically any object moving across its optical aperture, using a coherent light co`her´ent light n. 1.
