Posted on 23 July 2009, at 1:30 pm, by Dan Cohen
I’ma huge fan of the iPhone’s touchscreen keyboard. It works well for me and, in fact, I prefer it over a physical keyboard. For others, however, tapping way at the screen may not be the preferred mode of data entry.
One of the options for alternative text input comes from a company that is familiar to anyone who has ever used a tabletpc or Windows Mobile device. PhatWare has brought their handwriting recognition to OS iPhone in a big way and, just today, annouonced a new WritePad Professional Edition. The new product not only combines three previous apps, WritePad Affairs, WritePad Notes, and WritePad Events, into a single app that allows you to input text by writing on the screen but it also allows you to take and save voicenotes.
WritePad Professional Edition is just $9.99 and is available HERE.
The full release after the jump.

Phatware has produced nice products over the years and this one appears to be yet another nicely done product.
I’m like you, however, in that I actually LIKE the iPhone keyboard. I especially like how it handles the delivery of foreign characters – the press-and-hold approach really speeds up the typing of these characters – almost without breaking stride (unlike traditional “special” character entry. I really wish somthing based this model was more widely available on other devices/computers.
