📝 MyScriptJS is the fastest way to integrate rich handwriting features in your webapp.

What is it about?

MyScriptJS is a JavaScript library that can be used in every web application (whatever JavaScript framework you are using) to bring handwriting recognition.

It integrates all you need:

• Signal capture,
• Digital ink rendering,
• Plug with MyScript Cloud to bring handwriting recognition.

Getting started

Prerequisites

1. Have bower installed.
2. Have a MyScript developer account. You can create one here.
3. Get your keys and the free monthly quota to access MyScript Cloud at developer.myscript.com

Installation

1. Download MyScriptJS library

bower install myscript

2. Create and edit index.html file in the same directory.

3. Add the following lines in the head section ot your file. We use pep to ensure better browsers compatibilities. Note that you can also use it using bower dependencies:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bower_components/myscript/dist/myscript.min.css"/>
<script src="bower_components/myscript/dist/myscript.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/pep/0.4.3/pep.js"></script>

4. In the body tag, create a div tag that will contain the editing zone:

    <div id="editor"></div>

5. In JavaScript, create the editor attached to editor DOM Node:

  var editorElement = document.getElementById('editor');

  MyScript.register(editorElement, {
    recognitionParams: {
      type: 'MATH',
      server: {
        applicationKey: '#YOUR MYSCRIPT CDK APPLICATION KEY#',
        hmacKey: '#YOUR MYSCRIPT CDK HMAC KEY#'
      }
    }
  });

6. Launch a local webserver and browse the sample.
