Device, method, and graphical user interface for simulating and interacting with handwritten text

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• an input device;
• one or processors;
• non-transitory memory storing wherein the one or more programs, the one or more programs including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the electronic device to:
• display, on the touch-sensitive display, a drawing region;
• while displaying, the drawing region, detect a sequence of drawing inputs on the touch-sensitive display;
• in response to detecting the sequence of drawing inputs, drawing a plurality of strokes in the drawing region, wherein the plurality of strokes correspond to a plurality of characters;
• after detecting the sequence of drawing inputs on the touch-sensitive display, detect, on the touch-sensitive display, a predefined gesture that corresponds to a request to perform an operation based on the plurality of characters represented by the plurality of strokes;
• and
• in response to detecting the predefined gesture, concurrently display, on the touch-sensitive display:
• a first visual prompt indicating that a first subset of one or more characters in the plurality of characters can be used to perform the operation;
• and
• a second visual prompt indicating that a second subset of one or more characters in the plurality of characters can be used to perform the operation.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device with a display, and an input device, cause the electronic device to:

• display, on the touch-sensitive display, a drawing region;
• while displaying, the drawing region, detect a sequence of drawing inputs on the touch-sensitive display;
• in response to detecting the sequence of drawing inputs, drawing a plurality of strokes in the drawing region, wherein the plurality of strokes correspond to a plurality of characters;
• after detecting the sequence of drawing inputs on the touch-sensitive display, detect, on the touch-sensitive display, a predefined gesture that corresponds to a request to perform an operation based on the plurality of characters represented by the plurality of strokes;
• and
• in response to detecting the predefined gesture, concurrently display, on the touch-sensitive display:
• a first visual prompt indicating that a first subset of one or more characters in the plurality of characters can be used to perform the operation;
• and
• a second visual prompt indicating that a second subset of one or more characters in the plurality of characters can be used to perform the operation.
