Abstract: The technology involves providing haptic feedback to a user of a computing device. For instance, user input associated with a program of the computing device is received by a user interface module of the computing device. One or more processors of the computing device determine a kind of interaction corresponding to the user input. The one or more processors identify whether the kind of interaction is associated with one or more haptic feedback effects of a curated suite of haptic effects. Upon identifying that the kind of interaction is associated with one or more haptic feedback effect, the one or more processors select a particular haptic feedback effect from the curated suite of haptic effects. And the one or more processors are able to cause a haptic feedback module of the computing device to provide the particular haptic feedback effect for sensation by the user.

Abstract: The technology relates to allowing a user to enter text into text boxes using a stylus. For instance, first user input identifying a text box displayed on a display of the computing device may be received. Based on the received first user input, a handwriting field may be generated on the display without visual impact on the display. A second user input within the handwriting field may be received. The second user input may be converted into typed text, and the typed text may be displayed in the text box.
