Method for inserting hand-written text

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a computer processor to insert hand-written text, the instructions comprising functionality for:

• detecting, from a stylus, an insertion gesture on a touch screen;
• determining, on the touch screen, an insertion location where the hand-written text is to be inserted;
• generating, on the touch screen, an insertion box for receiving the hand-written text from the stylus;
• detecting, from the stylus, the hand-written text in the insertion box;
• in response to determining that the hand-written text nears or exceeds a boundary of the insertion box, increasing a size of the insertion box to accommodate the hand-written text;
• detecting, from the stylus, a completion gesture on the touch screen;
• reducing the size of the insertion box to encapsulate the inserted hand-written text;
• and
• erasing the insertion box and inserting the hand-written text into a space previously occupied by the insertion box.
