Abstract
Multiple selectable dictionaries are used by a handwriting recognition system to provide accurate and prompt recognition processing. Sets of the multiple dictionaries are selectable by the user or automatically by the recognition program in response to the user handwriting in predetermined fields on a user interface.
Claims25
A method, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a graphical image having at least one handwriting entry area to receive handwritten input;
- processing information representing the handwritten input with a selected set of a plurality of dictionaries having stored recognition data to identify candidate recognition information;
- and
- displaying the candidate recognition information.

A method, comprising the steps of:
- displaying a graphical image having a plurality of handwriting entry areas to receive handwritten input;
- selecting, responsive to receiving handwritten input in a handwriting entry area, a set of a plurality of dictionaries to provide selected recognition data at least some of which has a weighting value associated therewith;
- processing information representing the handwritten input with the selected recognition data to identify candidate recognition information;
- and
- displaying the candidate recognition information.
2 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display for displaying handwriting entry areas to receive handwritten input and for displaying recognized words or characters, and for providing information representing the handwritten input;
- a memory having a plurality of dictionaries each having recognition data stored therein to provide stored recognition data;
- and
- digital processing circuitry programmed to select a set of the plurality of dictionaries to provided selected recognition data and to compare the information representing the handwritten input with the selected recognition data to provide the recognized words or characters to the display.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a display for displaying a plurality of handwriting entry areas, to display information representing handwritten input, and for displaying recognized words or characters;
- a digitizing input device for receiving the handwritten input and for providing the information representing the handwritten input;
- a memory having a plurality of dictionaries each having recognition data stored therein to provide stored recognition data;
- digital processing circuitry programmed to select a set of the plurality of dictionaries associated with the plurality of handwriting entry areas to provided selected recognition data and to compare the information representing the handwritten input with the selected recognition data upon receiving handwritten input in another of the plurality of handwriting entry areas to provide the recognized words or characters to the display.
