Swipe Stroke Input and Continuous Handwriting

摘要

Swipe-stroke input and continuous handwriting are provided. A stroke sequence or a portion of a stroke sequence of a Chinese character may be input via selecting one or more stroke buttons via a swipe gesture. Candidate characters may be determined and provided when an indication is received that a stroke sequence input has ended. A candidate may be selected, or a next stroke sequence may be input. As additional input is received, phrase candidates may be predicted and dynamically provided. An end-of-input (EOI) panel may be provided, which when selected, provides an indication of an end of a current handwriting input and allowing a next handwriting input to be entered. By providing a selectable functionality to indicate an end of a current handwriting input, a continuous and more efficient handwriting experience is provided. Past handwriting input may be stored and accessed, allowing a user to edit the past handwriting input.
