INPUT PROCESSING FOR CHARACTER MATCHING AND PREDICTED WORD MATCHING

摘要

A mobile computing device that operates a method that processes handwritten user input for character matching and predictive word matching. A user inputs handwritten input on a touch-sensitive display using, for example, a stylus. The method determines and displays a set of candidate character matches for the handwritten input. The user then selects a character from the candidate character matches. The method determines and displays a set of candidate predicted word matches based on the user selected character match. The user can then select to input a desired candidate predicted word match.
