MyScriptJS is a free and open-source JavaScript library providing the easiest way to use the MyScript Cloud handwriting recognition service in your app.

MyScriptJS speeds up the development of handwriting interfaces with JavaScript, by abstracting and providing default implementations for the common tasks that need to be managed:

• Ink management: Store strokes and benefit from a built-in undo/redo system.
• Ink rendering: Attach a renderer to a HTML5 canvas to start capturing and displaying smooth strokes.
• Call to the recognizer: MyScriptJS manages requests to MyScript Cloud as well as API calls, using HTTP/REST or WebSocket protocols (new in Cloud 3.0).
• All MyScript recognition types: The object model of MyScriptJS supports the recognition of handwritten text, shapes, music notation and mathematical expressions.
• Result tree parsing: The recognition result tree is exposed and fully traversable.
• Typesetting (coming soon): Replace ink with digital equivalent, whether it is text, music, shapes or mathematical expressions.
