About this app

For this version please note the following:
* This is the Japanese handwriting recognition app.

“mazec3” is the state-of-the-art handwriting recognition engine which allows you to change your handwriting to text messages during or even after your handwriting. In particular, using with MetaMoJi’s applications such as MetaMoJi Note or 7notes, it enables you to mix handwriting recognition into your standard Android experience, removing the reliance on the software keyboard.

The app contains three input modes; Convert, Stroke, and Keyboard. Your handwritten letters are converted into text in the Convert mode. You can choose the best words or phrases from the list of alternatives. Using MetaMoJi Note or 7notes, you can enter your handwriting as it is in the applications in the Stroke mode. The handwritten letters can be converted later at any time. The Keyboard mode allows you to enter characters as you type in the other apps. This mode assists you to insert words that have not been registered in the mazec3’s dictionaries such as e-mail addresses or URLs.

Now you can take notes faster and easier in a wide variety of situations such as during a phone call, attending lectures, meeting with customers, and commuting. The application delivers the power of human touch, to offer solutions that eliminate the barriers between smartphone and tablet users and their keyboards. The handwriting recognition features can be used within other Android applications such as e-mail, Twitter, blogging apps, thanks to the mazec technology.

- Real time conversation from handwriting

Ratings and reviews

Can't use the app I've payed money for. When I tried to update it there were an error, and now same error when I tried to reinstall it.

I just moved away from a Samsung phone, and needed a replacement handwriting IME, and it looks like I found it. Mazec3 is very similar in design and function to Samsung's, predicts at least as well, is trainable, and is much more configurable too. But the English functions are very primitive, and it's pricy at 1300 yen for this + the English language pack. Worth it if you really need Japanese handwriting recognition, as it's probably the best you can get, but οtherwise look elsewhere.

Chinging over keyboard,there is a BUG that the interface freezes about 10 seconds.

What's new
