On-line Recognition
On-line handwriting recognition involves the automatic conversion of text as it is written on a special digitizer or PDA, where a sensor picks up the pen-tip movements as well as pen-up/pen-down switching. That kind of data is known as digital ink and can be regarded as a dynamic representation of handwriting. The obtained signal is converted into letter codes which are usable within computer and text-processing applications.
The elements of an on-line handwriting recognition interface typically include:
- a pen or stylus for the user to write with.
- a touch sensitive surface, which may be integrated with, or adjacent to, an output display.
- a software application which interprets the movements of the stylus across the writing surface, translating the resulting strokes into digital text.

Famous quotes containing the word recognition:
“Tragedy, as you know, is always a fait accompli, whereas terror always has to do with anticipation, with man’s recognition of his own negative potential—with his sense of what he is capable of.”
—Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
