I am trying to develop a web-based application, and one of the
requirements of this endeavor is that it be able to do handwriting
recognition from writing on the browser.

My thought was to do the reading with JavaScript, and send the "pen
movements" to the server in some form of XML, and then do the
"handwriting recognition bit" on the server from the pen strokes.

Has anyone ever seen some type of handwriting recognition library I
could use on the server-side? I looked at CellWriter, but it cannot
detect the edges of letters without direct user input, and that is what
we are trying to avoid. I am trying to make the system "as paper-like"
as possible, and have the user /later/ make corrections to the text that
appears in the system.

Any thoughts?
