# Handwriting Recognition

Qt Virtual Keyboard supports handwriting recognition through open source and commercially-licensed engines.

For instructions on how to activate and use the handwriting input mode, see the User Guide.

For information about building Qt Virtual Keyboard with a particular handwriting engine, see Configuration Options.
