If your requirements extend to other platforms, please contact our sales team.

The answer depends on your requirements.

You should probably use the native version if:

You cannot allow or ensure your users the access to an Internet connection.
You need to provide end users with content types that are not yet supported in the web, such as diagram or text document.
You want to have a fine control over the types of devices you consider or want to make use of specific hardware features linked to the stylus.
You want to avoid sending data to a remote server.

You should probably use the web version if:

You are developing a web or an hybrid application.
You prefer off-loading the recognition overhead to a remote server to spare resources on the local device.
You have data confidentiality constraints but you are ready to host the MyScript iink SDK server.

If you are interested in the on-premise version of the MyScript iink SDK server, please contact our sales team for more information and pricing.
