System and method of guiding handwriting input

A method for guiding handwriting input to a computing device, the computing device comprising a processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium for recognizing the handwriting input under control of the processor, the method comprising configuring the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to:

• generate, on an interactive display of the computer device, a guide element contiguous with at least a portion of a display of digital ink corresponding to the handwriting input, the guide element configured to guide further handwriting input, wherein the guide element includes a dynamic prompter which dynamically displays typeset ink corresponding to the digital ink recognized from the handwriting input as the handwriting is input;
• and
• position the guide element coextensively with respect to the handwriting input such that the guide element is correspondingly resized as the handwriting is input to the interactive display.

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for guiding handwriting input to a computing device, the method comprising:

• generating display of, on an interactive display of the computer device, a guide element contiguous with at least a portion of a display of digital ink corresponding to the handwriting input, the guide element configured to guide further handwriting input, wherein the guide element includes a dynamic prompter which dynamically displays typeset ink corresponding to the digital ink recognized from the handwriting input as the handwriting is input;
• and
• positioning the guide element coextensively with respect to the handwriting input such that the guide element is correspondingly resized as the handwriting is input to the interactive display.
