A METHOD FOR HANDWRITING INPUT AND CORRECTION ON SMARTPHONES

This paper describes a new approach for entering text on a \"Smartphone\" via natural handwriting input. The approach focuses on ease of use within the confines of a Smartphone display size and processing limitations. Therefore there are two integrated components to the approach. The first is a new handwriting recognition engine that has been designed to have a very high recognition accuracy (98.3% character accuracy), support sentence­based handwriting input, and have a small memory footprint (84 kb) and fast processing time. The second is a method that allows very simple editing and correction of recognized characters
