MANAGING REAL-TIME HANDWRITING RECOGNITION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18211139 Titled 'MANAGING REAL-TIME HANDWRITING RECOGNITION'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a technique for enabling handwriting input on a user device. It involves training a handwriting recognition module to recognize multiple scripts and thousands of characters using a single model. The technique allows for real-time recognition of handwriting, independent of stroke order and direction, for multi-character input, specifically for Chinese handwriting. The abstract also mentions the disclosure of user interfaces for this handwriting input functionality.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media related to a technique for providing handwriting input functionality on a user device. A handwriting recognition module is trained to have a repertoire comprising multiple non-overlapping scripts and capable of recognizing tens of thousands of characters using a single handwriting recognition model. The handwriting input module provides real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition for multi-character handwriting input. In particular, real-time, stroke-order and stroke-direction independent handwriting recognition is provided for multi-character, or sentence level Chinese handwriting recognition. User interfaces for providing the handwriting input functionality are also disclosed.
