Abstract
Systems and methods of text editing are disclosed. A system may include a touchscreen, a memory, and a processor. A method may include receiving, from an electronic pen in communication with the processor, pressure signals indicating a detection of a first amount of pressure at a pen tip. In response to receiving the pressure signals, handwriting recognition may be activated. Touch input representing handwriting a first location of the touchscreen may then be received, and the touch input may then be converted into rendered textual content corresponding to the handwriting.
Claims15
A computer system comprising:
- a touchscreen;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to, during execution of a text editing application:
- receive, from an electronic pen in communication with the processor, pressure signals indicating a detection of a first amount of pressure at a pen tip;
- in response to receiving the pressure signals indicating the detection of a first amount of pressure at the pen tip, activate handwriting recognition;
- receive touch input representing handwriting at a first location of the touchscreen;
- convert the touch input representing handwriting into rendered textual content corresponding to the handwriting;
- receive touch input at a second location of the touchscreen;
- receive, from the electronic pen, a request to activate voice recognition, the request to activate voice recognition being received via pressure signals, from the electronic pen, indicating a detection of a second amount of pressure at the pen tip, the second amount of pressure being distinguishable from the first amount of pressure;
- activate voice recognition;
- receive, from a microphone in communication with the processor, a signal representing voice input;
- and
- convert the signal representing voice input into rendered textual content corresponding to the voice input.
A computer-implemented method for execution during a text editing application, the method comprising:
- receiving, from an electronic pen, pressure signals indicating a detection of a first amount of pressure at a pen tip;
- in response to receiving the pressure signals indicating the detection of a first amount of pressure at the pen tip, activating handwriting recognition;
- receiving touch input representing handwriting at a first location of a touchscreen;
- converting the touch input representing handwriting into rendered textual content corresponding to the handwriting;
- receiving touch input at a second location of the touchscreen;
- receiving, from the electronic pen, a request to activate voice recognition, the request to activate voice recognition being received via pressure signals, from the electronic pen, indicating a detection of a second amount of pressure at the pen tip, the second amount of pressure being distinguishable from the first amount of pressure;
- activating voice recognition;
- receiving, from a microphone, a signal representing voice input;
- and
- converting the signal representing voice input into rendered textual content corresponding to the voice input.
