			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I not really sure that the update to version 1.0.1 of <a href="http://www.appleiphoneschool.com/category/hwpen/">HWPen</a> does. I do see one visual change, the Chinese Characters on the button to switch to recognize Chinese writing look different. However, I do not notice any changes in functionality. It still seems to struggle recognizing when to capitalize a letter and when to leave it lowercase. It is also still limited in it&#8217;s recognition ability. I can get it to recognize one letter pretty well, a two letter word sometimes but still not anything longer than two letter. I must say, I did uninstall this app after having it installed for a few days because it drove me crazy that I had to tap through another keyboard to get to my numbers/symbols keyboard. But, the concept it great and it is fun to mess around with for a little while. Let me know if you notice anything that has changed with the app! HWPen is available through the <a href="http://appleiphoneschool.com/sources">iPhoneCake source</a>.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw this app in the Installer however, I put off installing it because I figured it worked only with Chinese since is was through the <a href="http://appleiphoneschool.com/sources">iPhone Cake source</a>. Well, I was wrong! HWPen is a handwritting recoginition tool. Once you have it installed&#8230;wherever you bring up a keyboard on your iPhone, you will symbol in the lower left corner of the keyboard. If you tap on it, you will get the Handwriting Recognition &#8220;keyboard.&#8221; When the keyboard first comes up, you will get an area divided into four squares and a white space. This area is for writing symbols. Well, at least I think it is&#8230;I can&#8217;t get it to work for letters or numbers. I have found this area doesn&#8217;t work very accurately for me. However, if you tap on the blue arrow you will get a full keyboard area. </p>
<p>Now, you can select either ABC or 123 on the right side depending on what you want to type. I have found that the number recognition works great, even with numbers that are more than one digit. The letter recognition is a little trickier. There is no option to switch between capitol and lowercase letters so, it can be tricky making it recognize the difference. And, it pretty much doesn&#8217;t recognize if you write an entire word. It will recognize small two letter words but, that is about it. Single letters yes, two letter words sometimes, full words no! Also, I am trying to remember all my tricks from when I had a Pocket PC. Like when you write a five, don&#8217;t put the line across the top&#8230;just a straight line down then the circle at the bottom. Things like that. This app is still in Beta and there is a reason for that&#8230;but, overall it is still very fun to play with. </p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> when you install this app your do not get a icon on your SpringBoard. It just adds the automatically adds it to your keyboard.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> After using this app all day&#8230; I have figured out how to get it to work on the main screen (the one divided into four squares and a white space). To write a number&#8230;you use the right side of the four squares and the number has to cross over the middle dividing line. So, if you are going to write a two&#8230;it has to start in the upper right box, cross the middle line and end in the lower right box. Also, once you have written a letter&#8230;it will bring up possible options in the white box. So, if it doesn&#8217;t recognize the number correctly, you can tap on one of the options in the white box and it will change it to that. It is the same for writting letters only you use the left two boxes (make sure when you write a letter is starts in the upper left box and end in the lower left box&#8230;it has to cross the middle line or it will think you are writing a symbol). Capitalization is still tricky but, I think it is fun to mess around with.<br />
