Handwriting won't work against backdoors.Backdoors can send screen captures. And since handwriting is slower than typing , most of the times, people won't use it - so it will be a good signal that one is trying to hide something.

Which means only those who need to be snooped will need to be snooped by the Gov, not everybody. > And since handwriting is slower than typing , most of the times, people won't use it - so it will be a good signal that one is trying to hide something. This one is important. The example that I linked above has been written off the iPad. On the iPad it's relatively fast to write by hand (clunky keyboards?), and with a Wacom Pentab too, but then this could be the earliest of such experiences that we're talking about. If Tech focus/innovation can be centered around it, people would love doodling as much as typing.
- ippisl 13y agoI just did a non-scientific test and it took me a similar time to write on an android smartphone(with a good keyboard) and on paper. This might work. But there are some tools for handwritten OCR: http://www.cvisiontech.com/ocr/file-ocr/ocr-tool-for-hand-written.html http://www.cvisiontech.com/ocr/file-ocr/ocr-tool-for-hand-wr... And if we aim for people to write clearly ,unlike doctors, handwritten OCR doesn't seem like a hard problem relative to machine vision in general.
