“Communication Intelligence Corp. (CIC) on Tuesday announced
that it will co-develop a Linux-based handwriting recognition and
electronic-signature software development kit that company
officials believe could result in the creation of a range of
different products for several categories of wireless Internet
appliances.”

“Based around CIC’s Jot handwriting system and its InkTools
development kit, CIC and Middlesoft, a San Francisco-based
start-up, jointly will integrate the finished products into
Middlesoft’s graphical user interface.”

Middlesoft’s interface is specifically crafted for handheld
devices and other Internet information appliances and can also be
integrated with widget frameworks on Linux such as QT and
GTK.
