Abstract
A first rendering of symbols is generated with typeset font, and the first rendering is displayed by a display device. From among the symbols, a selection is received from a user. A second rendering of the selection is generated with ink font, and the second rendering is displayed by the display device. At least one handwritten edit to the second rendering is received from the user, and recognition of the handwritten edit is performed. The selection is updated to incorporate the recognized handwritten edit. A third rendering of the updated selection is generated with typeset font, and the third rendering is displayed by the display device for replacing at least a portion of the first rendering.
Claims30
A method performed by at least one device for editing a rendering of symbols, the method comprising:
- generating a first rendering of the symbols with typeset font;
- causing a display device to display the first rendering;
- from a user, receiving a selection from among the symbols;
- generating a second rendering of the selection with ink font;
- causing the display device to display the second rendering;
- from the user, receiving at least one handwritten edit to the second rendering;
- performing recognition of the handwritten edit;
- updating the selection to incorporate the recognized handwritten edit;
- generating a third rendering of the updated selection with typeset font;
- and
- causing the display device to display the third rendering for replacing at least a portion of the first rendering.
A system for editing a rendering of symbols, the system comprising:
- a display device for displaying information;
- at least one processor for:
- generating a first rendering of the symbols with typeset font;
- causing the display device to display the first rendering;
- from a user, receiving a selection from among the symbols;
- generating a second rendering of the selection with ink font;
- causing the display device to display the second rendering;
- from the user, receiving at least one handwritten edit to the second rendering;
- performing recognition of the handwritten edit;
- updating the selection to incorporate the recognized handwritten edit;
- generating a third rendering of the updated selection with typeset font;
- and causing the display device to display the third rendering for replacing at least a portion of the first rendering.
A computer program product for editing a rendering of symbols, the computer program product comprising:
- a tangible computer-readable storage medium;
- and
- a computer-readable program stored on the tangible computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable program is processable by an information handling system for causing the information handling system to perform operations including:
- generating a first rendering of the symbols with typeset font;
- causing a display device to display the first rendering;
- from a user, receiving a selection from among the symbols;
- generating a second rendering of the selection with ink font;
- causing the display device to display the second rendering;
- from the user, receiving at least one handwritten edit to the second rendering;
- performing recognition of the handwritten edit;
- updating the selection to incorporate the recognized handwritten edit;
- generating a third rendering of the updated selection with typeset font;
- and causing the display device to display the third rendering for replacing at least a portion of the first rendering.
