I would like to start on Chinese hand-writing recognition program for IPhone...but I couldn't find any library or API that can help me to do so. It's hard for me to write the algorithm myself because of my time span. Some of suggestion recommended that I should make use of a back-end server to do the recognition work. But I don't know how to set up that kind of server. So any suggestion or basic steps that can help me to achieve this personal project?

+1  A: 

You probably will not find any open source code to help you. If you cannot put the time into learning and developing an app, and if you don't know how to setup a server then perhaps you are in the wrong profession.

@coneybeare: it doesn't even answer one bit of my question

And I finally found these two open source engines Tomoe and Tegaki which does recognizes Chinese patterns and strokes. The problem is they are written on Python which is not my prior language. May I port them to C++?

Otherwise, the author of Tegaki engine suggest me to have a back-end server running Tegaki, and sending Chinese characters to that server using AJAX. I understand that it's possible to be done. However, I don't know to use Python so any suggestion here?
