What's new

MyScript iink Cloud 3.2 comes packed with improvements and several noticeable new features. This page provides an overview of the changes.

New REST endpoint to support our latest recognizers

With the 3.2, we introduce a new REST endpoint <host_of_rest_endpoint>/api/v4.0/iink/recognize/ that allows you to use our latest recognitions engines.

This endpoint supports our new recognizers that are intended to address straight recognition solutions based on iink SDK:

  • The Gesture recognizer is dedicated to the recognition of gestures without any text context. It is agnostic to the current language settings.
  • The Text recognizer enables the recognition of text.
  • The Math recognizer enables the recognition of math.
  • The Shape recognizer enables the recognition of shapes. It is dedicated to the recognition of shapes only: no matter which ink content is sent to the Shape recognizer, it returns the shape(s) that it recognizes, with alternative recognized shape(s), if any.
  • The Raw Content recognizer is designed to analyze and recognize digital ink into text, math, shape, decoration or other elements whose semantics are known to iink SDK. The input digital ink does not require any explicit segmentation. Depending on its classification configuration, the recognizer analyzes the content to extract the document layout as blocks and classify ink strokes according to their types. Once ink is classified, recognition is performed according to recognition configuration.

➤ For more details about recognizers, refer to Recognizers page.

➤ To learn how to use the new endpoint, see the REST Recognizer API user guide.

iinkTS changes

Supporting this new REST endpoint has required some refactoring of our Javascript library. As a result, we have updated iinkTS from 2.0.1 to 3.0.0. If you have been using iinkTS, please see the migration guide for upgrade recommendations.

Other changes

The version of the iink server can now be obtained using GET <url of the server>/api/v4.0/iink/version.

Update to the latest MyScript technology

MyScript iink Cloud 3.2 is based on the latest version of MyScript technology, which improves classification and recognition performance and brings general improvements, including robustness improvement in case of bad requests.

If you upgrade from a previous version, please take a look at the migration guide.
