on the combined lexicon and zeichenreihenwahrscheinlichkeit based handwriting

摘要

In a handwriting recognition process, a list of candidate recognized words is identified (202) as a function of both comparison of dictionary entries to various combinations of recognized character combinations, and through a most likely character string and most likely string of digits analysis as developed without reference to the dictionary. The process selects (301) a word from the list and presents (302) this word to the user. The user then has the option of displaying (303) this list. When displaying the list, candidate words developed with reference to the dictionary are displayed in segregated manner from the most likely character string words and the most likely string of digits. The user can charge the selected word by choosing from the list, or edit the selected word. When the user selects the most likely character string as the correct representation of the handwritten input to be recognized, the process automatically updates (310) the dictionary to include the most likely character string The same process can occur when the user selects the most likely string of digits.
