Inline handwriting recognition and correction

摘要

As a user writes using a handheld writing device, such as an electronic pen or stylus, handwriting input is received and initially displayed as digital ink. The display of the digital ink is converted to recognized text inline with additional digital ink as the user continues to write. A user may edit a word of recognized text inline with other text by selecting the word. An enlarged version of the word is displayed in a character correction user interface that allows a user to make corrections on an individual character basis and also provides other correction options for the word.

1. One or more computer-storage media devices embodying computer-useable instructions for performing a method comprising:
receiving input corresponding with user handwriting from a handheld writing device; displaying digital ink representing the user handwriting based on the input; analyzing the input using a recognizer to identify one or more words as recognition text for the digital ink; employing at least three independent triggers to initiate conversion of display of the digital ink to display of the recognition text, wherein the at least three independent triggers include a distance-based trigger, a recognition-based trigger, and an overall timer-based trigger; determining that at least one of the at least three independent triggers has been satisfied, wherein satisfaction of any of the at least three independent triggers initiates conversion of display of the digital ink to display of the recognition text independent of satisfaction of the other independent triggers; and displaying the recognition text in place of the digital ink.
