ABSTRACT:
Improved data entry for handwriting entry computer systems, including "delayed translation" of written strokes, is provided. After a user has entered data into a handwriting entry computer system, the writing is associated with a target field or object. In one embodiment of the invention, a translation of the entered data is performed, and the untranslated "ink" is displayed. At a later time, if desired, the user can elect to display the translated text. If there are errors or mistranslations, the user can make corrections or revert back to the ink. In another embodiment, a user enters data into the computer system. A translation of the data is performed by a background process. If any of the characters cannot be translated, the original ink is displayed. If all of the characters are translated, the resultant word is compared to a dictionary of words, numbers and symbols. If the resultant translated word does not match a dictionary entry, the original ink is displayed. If there is a match, the translated text is displayed. In another embodiment, the user can selectably choose between translated text and the original ink on a field by field basis.
