Information processing device and control method

A control method for an information processing device including an input unit configured to detect handwritten input and a display unit configured to display a trajectory of the handwritten input, the control method comprising:

• a step of causing a text recognition unit to recognize text based on the handwritten input detected by the input unit;
• a step of causing a prediction processing unit to predict a text candidate following the text based on the text recognized by the text recognition unit;
• a step of causing a handwriting synthesis unit to synthesize the text candidate predicted by the prediction processing unit into handwritten characters;
• and
• a step of causing an approval processing unit to display, on the display unit, display information indicative of the text candidate predicted by the prediction processing unit, and when the input unit accepts an approval operation to approve the text candidate, the approval processing unit displays, on the display unit, the handwritten characters synthesized by the handwriting synthesis unit to correspond to the text candidate.
