Kanji (or Chinese characters) handwriting recognition with tablet (not trackpad)

Hello,
I have a Wacom tablet and I would really like to use it to input Kanji by drawing them. I know there is an option to draw kanji with the trackpad and that works perfectly fine, but I don't find it very comfortable and since I have a tablet I would really like to use it for that purpose! And I can't find any way to use that trackpad option with my tablet!
I also know there are internet tools (and even a google app) that enable to draw them and get them recognized... But you need to copy-paste everything that you write, it is just so unpractical! I would just like to use my tablet in the same way that the trackpad drawing option works!
I know it is possible to use tablets to draw kanjis on windows computer, everyone says it around the internet... But I just cannot believe there isn't a possibility to do that with Macs too! Is it really the case? Is there not an extra "IME" or app to download that could enable this option?
Thanks in advance!

Tegaki which is open source Chinese/Japanese handwriting recognition software that supports Mac OSX.
Not sure it supports Wacom tablet, though

Handwriting recognition with mac os

Hello all, I'm new in this forum and this is my first post.
Recently I bought a wacom graphic tablet and once installed I found that Mac OS X has a new pref pane with ink options for handwriting recognition. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/inkwell/)
Due to a problem with my back I thought that it should worth a try just to change the position we normaly adopt when we are in front Of a computer. After all it it's includad with system, it should work.
It Is my fourth day working with it and it took more than 5 minwtes to CompoUse this message and some keyboard postditing but it is my frist public handwriten one
I´m rapidly adapting and it works!
When writing in english I go much faster than ih spanish Cos ink doesn't support spanish language in 10.4.9 so I have to write against ink engine that sugest english - like words.
And now Comes the question in my post:
Does anybody Know when will mac OS support spanish with ink?
Thahks all for the time of reading,

Not all chinese characters display correctly with non-embedded text

Hi all,
I've updated to the last beta 2 of Flash Player 10.1 (10,1,51,66) and compiled this simple Flex application to illustrate the fact that not all chinese characters can be displayed correctly with non-embedded text (device font).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN'];"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝">
    </s:Label>
    <mx:Label text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Notice that characters from the Unicode range 0x4F1E .. 0x4А2D are not displayed within <s:Label> component that uses Flash Text Engine (FTE) by default to display the text, but at the same time those characters display just fine within older <mx:Label> component that relies on flash.text.TextField instance to render the text.

    OK, did not know that "Arial Unicode MS" font is only distributed with Microsoft Office, was looking into relying on this font in case if "simsun.ttc" font is not available at the user's system, by using the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
               minWidth="1024" minHeight="768"
               creationComplete="resourceManager.localeChain = ['zh_CN']"
               layout="{new VerticalLayout()}">
    <fx:Style>
        @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
        @namespace mx "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/halo";
        s|Label {
            fontFamily: "Arial Unicode MS, SimSun, Arial";
    </fx:Style>
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.layouts.VerticalLayout;
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Label id="sparkLabel" text="伜-伞伟传伡伢伣伤伥伦伧伨伩伪伫伬伭-伝"/>
</s:Application>
Tough decision ahead, but accordingly to the survey at codestyle.org (2000 participants from 2007 year and onwards), Arial Unicode MS is present at 62.53%% system surveyed.
ps
   My current install of Windows XP already includes the install of Microsoft Office 2007 and I've also enabled/disabled the support of East Asian languages, thus the content of my "fonts" folder differs now significantly from "clean" Windows XP install version.
Nevertheless I found the page with comprehensive lists of standard fonts installed with different releases of Windows that looks viable here: http://www.kayskreations.net/fonts/fonttb.html

Crystal Reports XI R2 Chinese characters display issue(with VB6)

I have a vb6 program that interfaces to crystal reports xi using crystal active x report viewer. When i print a report with Chinese characters in it, they print end up printing as boxes, but when i open the report through crystal itself they print fine.
Is there some setting that needs to be set to allow the characters to display properly?

Not a bug in CR, it's a limitation of Microsoft Framework. It has problems rendering fonts properly though GDIPlus.
Crystal Reports is a Win32 app, VB 6 and newer OS has issues. The viewer for CR is built into crw32.exe, the viewer you are using is an ActiveX viewer ( crviewer.dll ) and it can have limitations also. Mostly, CR XI R2 is unicode, using non-unicode fonts or non-UTF-8 type fonts are not supported. So some may work and others not.
Make sure the fonts you are using are True Type and that they are shared for all users. Depends on the OS you are using also.
Also, install the only patches available for R2, it may be resolved if you are not on the last updates:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009114712011E/crxir2sp4_fullbuild.exe ( requires and uninstall first so make sure you have your keycode, we can't give you a new one.

Chinese characters or else with a driver db2 z-os Unicode (UTF8)

Post Author: fred_181061
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
Hi,
Is there anybody use or test this driver with a database DB2 z-os and tablespace declared in Unicode UTF8 ?
I notice that this driver is not supported by Business Objects.
Interface succeeded on html viewer (deski 3 tier)
Interface not succeeded on java (webi) or deski 2 tier
Thanks for your answer and best regards

I am also not an expert and haven't used DB/2 on z/OS but am using it on OS/400. I think your DBA is confused.
From what I have experienced setting commit control to CS causes more locking than RS. From what I can determine (which has been through trial and error so it may not be totally accurate) CS causes the database to exclusive lock all records in the cursor while RS will use shared locks. I do know from painful experience that if you set all your transactions to CS you will experience frequent update problems due to record locks. We had to go through and set everything to RS and, once we did, our concurrency problems were nearly eliminated. There are some instances that you have to use *CS, however, such as when a stored procedure returns a cursor, but the compiler will tell you about this.
Another thing that doesn't make sense is locks are typically implemented as data structures in memory and do not require much if any processor time. I don't know the specifics of DB/2 implementation but Oracle uses simple semaphores, so I would assume IBM does, too.
Also, from my experience, there appears to be no way around DB/2 locking. Having come from an Oracle background I find the amount of locking DB/2 does totally frustrating. It's not as bad as SQL Server but can become problematic at times. That is just my $.02 anyway.

Why aren't handwritten chinese characters showing up in applications?

I'm on a 13" MacBook Pro, running OS X 10.9.4. I have activated [Pinyin - Simplified] in my input sources, and I have activated the option for TrackPad handwriting. Typing the pinyin and choosing the right character works fine, but I haven't been able to input chinese characters into any document via the trackpad writing method. I am able to pull up the "slate" thing, write, and choose a character, but the character just doesn't show up in the application. I've tried it with TextEdit, Word, and Safari.

Chinese Characters not display when PDF for marketing doc

Hi All,
I have typed in some Chinese Characters into a Print Layout Document.
I am able to print these documents with the Chinese characters. But I am not able to display these Chinese Characters when I click on PDF.
Please advise.
Rdgs
Jessie

Hi Gordon,
I have applied the various asian language service pack for the Adobe Reader.
However, i am still not able to see the Chinese Characters in the PDF document when click on the PDF at SAP B1's Toolbar.
Step 1 : Update a PLD with Chinese Characters (as text or from database field). Eg. AR Invoice.
Step 2 : Set the PLD as Default Layout.
Step 3 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on Preview. Chinese Character is able to be previewed and printed.
Convert to PLD.
Step 4 : At AR Invoice, call out an existing Invoice, click on PDF button at the Toolbar. Preview the PDF document. No Chinese Characters are displayed.
Is it due to Localisation? Localisation = Singapore
Please advise.

Jessie

How to display Chinese characters in Oracle?

I am using Oracle 8i with Language settings as AMERICA.
I am displaying records which is contain Chinese characters.
But it is not displayed properly in Oralce.
How to change the settings to display Chinese characters?
Thanks

It could be possible to display Chinese characters using SQL Developer without any specific NLS_LANG setting because SQL Developer is using JDBC which doesn't use NLS_LANG setting according to When is NLS_LANG used ?.
For example, I'm able to display the following Chinese character in SQL Developer 1.2.0 on Windows XP Pro with French Windows setting and NLS_LANG set in Windows registry to FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.

Datamerging Chinese Characters

Heyo all,
So I'm trying to merge some flashcards from an excel file that's a combination of chinese characters and english characters. Trouble is, while InDesign has no problem pulling in the english, the chinese comes in either as a question mark or as a strange roman character. I've verified that I'm exporting in the correct format (I can open it up in other programs and it spits back characters), but...I can't find any options to make sure it imports correctly.
Any suggestions?

Huh, how odd. I tried it using CS3, and it works...partially. I'm getting chinese characters now, but they're the wrong ones Hehe, now I'm wishing I'd made sure InDesign could do this before I made up my spreadsheet.
Well, I would have assumed it was Excel's fault (I don't think that its .csv output can do Unicode, much less Big5 or GB2312 - is your Chinese Simplified or Traditional?) but this made me think otherwise:
With the same csv file which contains English and Chinese Characters, it works with InDesign CS2 but not CS4 nor CS5.
However, I just did a successful Trad Chinese data merge in CS4. I made the CSV by hand - I grabbed some Chinese text from an old translation, made a Unicode CSV (when saving in Notepad, there's a dropdown to choose encoding), identified it as a data source in ID, and ran a merge. It worked perfectly. It's worth pointing out that there's an "Import Options" button when selecting a data source, and that will let you select an encoding and a platform - both are important! I only had three options - ASCII, ShiftJIS (for Japanese) and Unicode. So, get your CSV into Unicode encoding, use the Import Options button when selecting a data source, and you should be good to go.
I don't know what happened to you, eboda, but I betcha that you were in ShiftJIS encoding. I'll try this on other platforms, but in general you always need to tell InDesign what encoding you're working with when you are handling plaintext files.

Can actionscript handle special characters/han or chinese characters?

Does the ipad 3 come standard with handwriting recognition or do we have to purchase an app for that.

I am wondering whether or not the IPAD 3 comes with handwriting recognition apps as standard, As I know Android tablets and phones come with it, and if Apples wants to be compeditive with Android smartphone and tabs, I thought they would have added it to the IPAD 3 IOS 6.

You have to install apps that supports handwriting. Some webpages like Google support that

Ink handwriting recognition and Adesso Tablet

I recently purchase an Adesso cyber tablet 8600. I have a Mac G4 Notebook
running OSX 10.4.6 Tiger. I purchased this product for the use of handwriting
recgnition. The box said it was Mac compatible with OSX and that I came
with Pen Soft Pro software. There was no such Mac software on the enclosed disk.
I know that Mac OSX has a handwriting recognition utility call Ink, but I cannot seem to make it active for this tablet. When I plug in the tablet to the usb port, ink does not show up on the systems preferences. I did download the appropriate driver for the tablet from Adesso. The tablet does work- I can use it like a mouse.
How can I get Ink to work with this tablet? Any solutions?
Rayco
Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Rayco. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. Did you restart your Mac after installing the Adesso driver for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger?
2. Adesso has no support info concerning compatibility with Mac OS X's Ink handwriting recognition application. In this FAQ on their site, they have some troubleshooting information, most of which applies to Windows. Some of the steps in the section entitled "The tablet doesn't work. (USB port)" can be used with a Mac, i.e. all except steps (e) and (g). Note that Mac OS X's Ink application is not one of the tested applications they site under point 4, "What programs have been tested..."
3. If none of the above helps, contact Adesso as they claim to provide free technical support.
Good luck!

LoadUserProfile() creates a profile with Chinese characters on a remote system

Hi,
I'm working on an application where LoadUserProfile() is being used to remotely load a user profile on a machine. The token being passed to LoadUserProfile() is obtained from LogonUser().
When doing this only with a Domain Admin user which is added in Active Directory, it creates a profile with Chinese characters in the C:\Users\ folder of the remote machine. Note that this happens only when logging in for the first time with
this Domain Admin account remotely on that machine.
// code:
PROFILEINFO pi;
memset((void *) &pi, 0, sizeof(PROFILEINFO));
pi.dwSize = sizeof(PROFILEINFO);
pi.dwFlags = PI_NOUI;
pi.lpUserName = (TCHAR *)strUser; //strUser is the User name, and it shows correctly here when debugging
if (LoadUserProfile(hToken, &pi))
//It is actually successful, and comes here when debugging.
Although the name shows up correctly when debugging (remotely), why is it creating a profile with Chinese characters on the remote machine?
TIA,
Jy

CreateProfile won't load the profile. You need to use LoadUserProfile to load the profile, and you need to query for a roaming profile path to put in the lpProfileInfo parameter if you want to include that as well. You need a token for a
user to call LoadUserProfile, but not a profile handle. LoadUserProfile will populate that for you before it returns if it was successful. See this excerpt from
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762281%28v=vs.85%29.aspx:
Upon successful return, the hProfile member
of PROFILEINFO is
a registry key handle opened to the root of the user's hive. It has been opened with full access (KEY_ALL_ACCESS). If a service that is impersonating a user needs to read or write to the user's registry file, use this handle instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Do not close thehProfile handle.
Instead, pass it to the UnloadUserProfile function.
This function closes the handle. You should ensure that all handles to keys in the user's registry hive are closed. If you do not close all open registry handles, the user's profile fails to unload. For more information, see Registry
Key Security and Access Rights and Registry
