CIC Handwriter Recognition System on Kalidor 386/486 Systems Provides Superior Handwriting Recognition for Field Computing

October 24, 1994 — Communication Intelligence Corp. (CIC) (NASDAQ:CICIQ) announced that Kalidor joins the growing number of OEMs promoting Handwriter Recognition Systems (HRS) version 4.0 for the Windows for Pen platform.

CIC’s award-winning HRS software is fast becoming the industry standard due to its superior performance in recognizing handwritten input. The major impediments to the success of pen computers has been the poor quality of their recognizers. CIC’s HRS 4.0 offers high recognition rates right out of the box, allowing users to focus on using the application rather than the recognition.

“Kalidor has adopted CIC’s HRS for Windows for Pen because of the importance of robust handwriting recognition for end user applications,” said Fred Gladney, vice president of strategic operations at Kalidor.

“Kalidor’s goal is to meet the user’s needs with a competitive full function notepad computer, which is rugged enough for field use and designed to meet the toughest specifications–while still providing corporate users with sophisticated functionality such as a standard VGA screen. Utilizing CIC’s Handwriter Recognition System 4.0 enables us to meet the goal of providing a superior solution in both aspects of hardware and software.”

Kalidor’s K2000E pen-based computer enables field personnel to easily access corporate data, improve productivity, and reduce or eliminate paperwork. This 3.5 pound, 9.7″ x 6.4″ x 1.8″ full-function notepad pen computer is ideal for providing information system integration required by the field and office professionals who need the versatility of a mobile office solution.

Kalidor joins the growing line up of OEMs such as NEC Corp. and Fujitsu Ltd., who are offering CIC’s Handwriter Recognition System with Microsoft Windows for Pen Computing.

Kalidor is a subsidiary of Alps Electric Co. Ltd., a $3 billion Fortune International 500 headquartered in Tokyo. Founded in 1948, Alps today has over 3,000 products and operates 21 plants and has facilities in 14 countries.
