Handwriting processing apparatus, computer program product, and method

A computer program product having a computer readable medium including programmed instructions for processing handwriting that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform:

• acquiring coordinate information of handwriting input by an input unit and attribute information, the attribute information indicating a type of input of the handwriting;
• determining a kind of the handwriting using the attribute information;
• performing a character recognizing process or a gesture recognizing process corresponding to the kind of the handwriting using the coordinate information;
• and
• causing a display unit to display a character recognized if the character recognizing process is performed, and control the display unit to display a execution result of the commend if the gesture recognizing process is performed.
