        Phatware has upgraded its natural handwriting recognition package for Pocket PCs, adding Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish to its list of supported languages. CalliGrapher version 7.4 supports print, cursive, or mixed handwriting styles, according to the company.

        English handwriting recognition is standard in CalliGrapher while other language packs are sold seperately. In addition to English and the newly released languages, CalliGrapher supports Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Each CalliGrapher language pack includes a language-specific handwriting recognition engine, an on-screen keyboard, and a dictionary, according to PhatWare.

        Other new features in CalliGrapher 7.4 include:
        • Auto-corrector, said to improve the quality of handwriting recognition
        • PenCommander navigation tool
        • User-customizable recognition margins
        • Updated toolbar graphics
        PhatWare says CalliGrapher is easily accessible from within most applications, and seamlessly integrates with PhatPad, a notes organizing package for Pocket PCs.

        CalliGrapher 7.4 is priced at $29.95, but is available as a free upgrade for registered users of earlier 7.x versions. Language packs are sold separately for $14.95 each.
