Looking for a keyboard app with a handwriting feature

[chanchan05]

I'm looking for a keyboard app which is able to switch to handwriting mode. For those of you who came from a 5800 or N97, you'd remember this as where the keyboard popup appears like a blank slate where you write with your stylus and the letters get recognized. Anybody knows of an app with that capability?

FlexT9 keyboard has a handwriting mode. When you open the keyboard, there's a little pencil button on the bottom right, and when you click on it, it changes the keyboard to a blank area you use your finger to write letters in.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Another one is 'graffiti'.

Get Graffiti(R) Pro for Android from the Amazon Appstore...- Amazon.com: Graffiti(R) Pro for Android: Appstore for Android
The Pro version is free today.

Tried graffiti and no thanks.

Tried graffiti and no thanks.

Different strokes for different folks...
I used Graffiti for 15 years on PalmOS and several months on my Android. I could not stand the Android keyboard apps. But that is why there are CHOICES.

Motorola smart-phones come with one they provided and Swype I think but I find the Motorola version good enough for my use.

I have to confess I discover this only last night after 1.5 years using that smartphone!!!! Now am I stupid or what :O

I'm not talking about swype.

As suggested already: Flex T9

Here's another thumbs up for Graffiti.

I panned it in a much earlier post because the software couldn't recognize letters as fast as I could draw them on my phone with a slow processor. However, the Amazon free app motivated me to try again on my tablet, and there the letters are recognized as fast as I can write them.

Once you've learned the characters, you can use Graffiti as fast as you can print with pen and paper.

My phone's market wont show FlexT9. What I dont like about graffiti is that I have to relearn my writing style, essentially I cant as i would normally on it.
