Character Recognition Using a Hybrid Text Display

摘要

A character recognition application is disclosed for receiving touch gesture input and displaying scaled representations of the input. A user is given the ability to input textual content using a touch sensor. The character recognition application may receive the textual content and identify related computer generated characters. The character recognition application may display scaled representations of the textual content together with computer generated characters in a predefined area of a display screen.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by touch gesture input in a text input area of a presentation displayed by a device, an original representation of a handwritten glyph displayed in the text input area; generating, using one or more computers, a scaled-down representation of the handwritten glyph including scaling the original representation of the handwritten glyph to a smaller size according to a size of a text display area of the display of the presentation, the text display area being different from and smaller in size than the text input area in which the touch gesture input was received; responsive to generating the scaled down representation of the handwritten glyph and before receiving a recognized character corresponding to the touch gesture input from a character recognition service,
removing from display, in the text input area, the original representation of a handwritten glyph; andproviding, for display, in the text display area, the scaled-down representation of the handwritten glyph in the presentation as a next input character of the text input portion of the presentation; responsive to receiving, from the character recognition service, a recognized character corresponding to the touch gesture input:
replacing, in the text display area, the scaled down representation of the handwritten glyph with the recognized character.
