P3 digital services, leading provider of In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems, and MyScript, the global market leader in handwriting recognition and digital ink management, announce their new partnership, introducing AI-driven touch-based handwriting to the SPARQ platform. The collaboration brings this intuitive, keyboard-free input to Android Automotive OS for the first time.
Thanks to MyScript’s powerful AI, the system offers predictive text functionality: it learns the user’s handwriting style (whether cursive or block letters, orderly or messy), deciphers the input and helps to complete the communication.
This intuitive communication method helps the driver stay focused on the road as opposed to searching for letters on a keyboard. In doing so, it makes the IVI system more usable and versatile, and contributes to safer driving.
MyScript already operates in over 22.5 million vehicles worldwide, with that metric set to grow via its Android Automotive debut on the rapidly expanding SPARQ platform.
“We are hugely excited to partner with P3 to bring powerful and intuitive handwriting functionality to the Android Automotive environment,” explains Olivier Cros, Director, Head of Automotive at MyScript. “Enhancing consumer choice and helping to create safer driving conditions are key to our mission at MyScript. P3 is the ideal partner to help make our vision a reality for more people around the world.”
“We’re delighted to welcome MyScript and its powerful AI technology to the SPARQ platform,” comments Marius Mailat, CTO & Managing Director of P3 digital services. “Introducing this novel and intuitive input option delivers a step change to the utility and user-centricity of SPARQ-enabled IVI, and we’re so proud of our collaboration with MyScript, a true AI pioneer and innovator.”
