Abstract

Current online handwriting recognition systems have very limited error recovery mechanisms. In this paper, we discuss the problem of error repair in an online handwriting interface. Based on user study of common repair patterns found in human handwriting, we propose an approach that allows users to recover from recognition errors. The basic idea is to handle the error repair at the interface level by interacting with users. The method requires few modifications on original recognition engine and imposes few restrictions on users. We have developed a prototype system to demonstrate the proposed concept and perform user study when the system provides error recovery mechanisms.
