Chinese hand-writing recognition program for IPhone

I would like to start on Chinese hand-writing recognition program for开发者_运维百科 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?

You might want to check out Zinnia. Tegaki relies on other APIs (Zinnia is one of them) to do the actual character recognition.
I haven't looked at the code, but I gather it's written in C or C++, so should suit your needs better than Tegaki.
