I have a simple prototype that receives spen input. I would like to recognize the text inputed by the user. Does the Galaxy Note family (Note 8, Note 2 and 3) provide an intent where you input the strokes and get out text recognized output ?

1Samsung has a Mobile SDK for integrating S-Pen input. – CommonsWare Jan 10 '14 at 20:27

Thanks for the response. I could not find any handwriting recognition in it. It just has the signature recognizer. MyScript licenses handwriting recognition, but we only need it on Note devices that already have HWR license in them. So I ask if there is a way to connect to it. – jeremyvillalobos Jan 10 '14 at 20:49

Download Samsung Mobile SDK
http://developer.samsung.com/samsung-mobile-sdk
The sample project at:
Samsung_Mobile_SDK_1.5/Samples/Pen/src/com/samsung/android/sdk/pen/pg/example5_6
shows how to use text recognition.

Do not freeze or disable HandwritingService if you use galaxy note series. Because this service essentially convert your handwriten text into preferred type such as task, phone number or emal. If you disable or delete this service, s note stops working when you try to select and convert handwritten text.

1I can't see any relation between your answer and OP's question. Can you be more clear? – oguz ismail Sep 23 '18 at 10:35

in case someone is still looking for text recognition, there's the ML Kit from google that does the same thing:
