MyScript partners with Candera to create an innovative input method for HMIs in the automotive industry
Candera and MyScript have integrated MyScript’s award-winning Handwriting recognition technology into Candera’s CGI Studio HMI design tool.
LINZ, AUSTRIA; NANTES, FRANCE – July 19, 2022 – Candera and MyScript have joined forces to offer an easy integration of their leading technologies. The companies collaborated to provide a pre-integration of Candera’s CGI Studio HMI design tool with MyScript’s pioneering handwriting recognition engine. This allows Candera and MyScript customers to benefit from an “out of the box” solution and enjoy the latest innovations from both companies.
MyScript provides CGI Studio with an innovative input method that reduces driver distraction
As an in-car input method for touch-enabled screens, handwriting recognition has been shown to reduce driver distraction, with over 20 million cars on the road already integrating MyScript technology.
Handwriting recognition allows drivers to scribble commands on the screen of their vehicle’s multimedia system without taking their eyes from the road. This method has been tested and validated in the world’s most demanding regulatory environments, from the USA and Europe to Japan.
In addition, MyScript’s technology is unique because it adapts to the user, rather than requiring the user to adapt to it. This reduces the cognitive load on the driver; there is no need to think about or look at the written inputs to achieve accurate results.
Drivers can write as they wish: letter by letter, in cursive or print, and even by superimposing characters and words on top of each other. MyScript’s technology performs the “magic trick” of transforming drivers’ scribbles into intelligible words – and the actions to which they refer.
“We are looking forward to working with our MyScript partners to support our customers in building brilliant and safe HMI solutions”, says Reinhard Füricht, CEO of Candera. “This strategic partnership now takes our already extensive abilities in text integration to the next level. We’re looking forward to supporting our mutual, worldwide customers to be successful in their businesses by creating powerful HMI solutions together with MyScript’s handwriting recognition technology.”
CGI Studio allows OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to create new HMIs which integrate handwriting as an input method
Candera’s user-friendly, no-coding HMI design tool CGI Studio is a highly intuitive HMI design tool. It allows the development of innovative and customizable embedded GUI solutions of all kinds for the automotive, industrial, and home appliances markets. CGI Studio now provides handwriting support thanks to MyScript, multi-language support, ready-to-use HMI controls and the award-winning Smart Importer for instant combination of designs with logic in only a few clicks. No coding skills required.
The result are scenes that not only feature sharp graphics, but can also support 2D, 2.5D and 3D elements and animations.
“CGI Studio is a great HMI design tool and we’re happy to contribute to the Candera ecosystem with this first pre-integration of MyScript’s market-leading technology,” explains Olivier Cros, Director – Head of Automotive at MyScript. “Our shared customers can now minimize the time and resources spent integrating the technology and enjoy a faster time-to-market.”
With over 20 years of experience in embedded software development, Candera offers a customizable product for our broad customer base. We work closely together with our customers and industry partners to provide solutions for both current and future HMI needs.

Candera’s user-friendly, no-coding HMI design tool CGI Studio is a highly intuitive, scalable and hardware independent HMI design tool. It allows the development of innovative and customizable embedded GUI solutions of all kinds for the automotive area, industry and home appliances market. CGI Studio provides multi language support, includes ready-to-use HMI controls and the Candera Smart Importer for instant combination of designs with logic in only a few clicks. The result are scenes that not only feature pin sharp graphics but can also support 2D and 3D elements and animations.
In a first project with ADLINK – an innovative, fully digital 2D/3D washing machine GUI – the Candera team was able to highlight the advantages of CGI Studio: A 3D start-up and washing-program animations were developed as well as a 2D progress-bar and time animations – both self-evidently in full HD resolution and with multi language support. The goal for Candera as well as ADLINK is always to provide their customers with products they can easily implement world-wide.
The GUI runs on ADLINK’s I-Pi SMARC with Rockchip PX30 SoC and Android 64bit OS. ADLINK offers the I-Pi SMARC PX30 ready-to-go IoT prototyping platform based on the LEC-PX30 SMARC module, which combines production-grade components, software portability, and Raspberry Pi-like flexibility and upgradability for proof-of-concept designs. The modules are also available in industrial-grade SKUs with ETT and longevity of over 10 years.

In this new collaboration with ADLINK, Candera can bring the advantages of their HMI expertise to full potential: “We strive to deliver our customers an off-the-shelf solution for creating rich and modern GUIs with CGI Studio – now also on ADLINK’s I-Pi SMARC platform,” says Thomas Kauffmann, Sales and Business Development Manager for Candera. “The combination provides an easy access to the GUI tool and absolutely quick results with CGI Studio: There is no coding required from design to simulation to target deployment. Just bring your design to life with a few clicks!”
“We developed I-Pi SMARC platform to provide additional benefit to our customers by reducing project’s time-to-market and assuring them access to the industrial, production-grade SMARC COMs to save time and money in later stages of design, SMARC clearly stands out as the only truly open, versatile, future proof, low power COM standard in a highly fragmented market with a multitude of alternative form factors.” said Henri Parmentier, Senior Product Manager, ADLINK. “We saw a perfect fit with Candera’s CGI Studio simplified creation of immersive user interfaces for diverse IoT applications and the continuous focus of both to drive future market innovations” concluded Parmentier.
Intuitive touch feedback of displays and devices is no longer a privilege of the automotive industry. It has already found its way into multiple application fields like industry, medicine, entertainment and household appliances. This is why Candera and ADLINK invest into this collaboration.
