CONVERSION OF HANDWRITING TO TEXT IN TEXT FIELDS

Abstract:

The subject technology receives, at a first position in a user interface, a set of input strokes. The subject technology retrieves information corresponding to one or more graphical elements of the user interface, the information comprising a second position of a text input field in the user interface. The subject technology determines, based at least in part on the first position and the second position that at least a portion of the set of input strokes overlaps at least a portion of the text input field. The subject technology performs handwriting recognition on the set of input strokes to provide a set of characters corresponding to the set of input strokes. The subject technology provides the set of characters for insertion into the text input field of the user interface.
