Cellwriter

Cellwriter

[Ken Bloom]

I'm very surprised that CellWriter isn't in OpenEmbedded yet. This is a 
GPL handwriting recognition system that can be used on keyboardless 
systems, for example the Nokia 770, for input. Please add this if you 
can, and encourage distributions for keyboardless devices (e.g. Poky 
Linux, and Mamona) to include it in their images.

$ cat org.openembedded.dev/packages/cellwriter/cellwriter_1.3.3.bb
DESCRIPTION = "A grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. As you write 
characters into the cells, your writing is instantly recognized at the 
character level. When you press Enter on the panel, the input you entered 
is sent to the currently focused application as if typed on the keyboard."
SECTION = "x11/input"
AUTHOR = "Michael Levin"
LICENSE = "GNU General Public License"
DEPENDS = "gtk+"

SRC_URI = "http://pub.risujin.org/cellwriter/cellwriter-1.3.3.tar.gz"
EXTRA_OECONF = "--without-gnome"

CellWriter seems nice for embedded devices.

Some time ago I've tried to compile CellWriter for Mamona on N800 but
I couldn't get it working.
After some seg faults I gave up.

I admit that I didn't spend so much time on this task.

It would be great to see it running on my N800.

I'm using it  on my hx4700 with Angstrom, but my bitbake recipe includes
also a set of dirty patches to copy icons to proper place, to delete
terrible built in keyboard, to reformat the window layout for better screen
space usage and to add wmclass hint to manipulate the cellwriter window from
my wm (icewm) and much much more, hmm also it seems hicolor-icon-theme is
needed by cellwriter when it's running. So I think cellwriter as it is, is
not very usable without a lot of adaptations, imho.
