EdgeWrite for Developers

Developers can build their own versions of EdgeWrite in about 10 lines of code. The EdgeWrite DLL is written in C# and can be used with any .NET language. It is targeted to the .NET 4.8 platform. The DLL is fully documented with MSDN-like documentation built by NDoc.

Word-level Stroking (recommended)

Word-level strokes are provided through a design called in-stroke word completion. To enable word-level strokes in Windows versions, two News.* data files must be loaded at runtime through the DLL. These data files are provided in the following separate download and should be put in the same directory as the EdgeWrite DLL. (Note: For the Stylus version of EdgeWrite on Palm OS, the word-level stroking file is included in that download itself.)
