Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for presenting an overlay canvas in response to receiving an editing gesture to existing text on a canvas. In an implementation, user input is received comprising an inking gesture associated with existing text displayed on a canvas in a user interface. The inking gesture is then determined to comprise any of a plurality of editing gestures. In response to the inking gesture comprising an editing gesture, an overlay canvas is presented above the canvas in the user interface. Additional user input is received comprising inking on the overlay canvas. The inking is then incorporated into the existing text on the canvas.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing access to formatting information of authored content within an application. In one aspect, one or more of a plurality of standard formatting properties of the authored content within an application may be translated to one or more corresponding platform specific formatting properties. A request for formatting information of at least some of the authored content within the application may be received. The formatting information may be associated with the one or more corresponding platform specific formatting properties. The requested formatting information of at least some of the authored content within the application may be provided by exposing the one or more corresponding platform specific formatting properties to a screen reader.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to digital inking technology. More specifically, some embodiments relate to use of intelligent scaffolding to teach gesture-based ink interactions. For example, in some embodiments telemetry data on user interactions with a user interface to an application can be collected at a client device. The telemetry data can be analyzed to identify user proficiency with a digital inking gesture. Upon determining a low user proficiency with the digital inking gesture, user interactions resembling a digital inking gesture within the application can be identified. A training interface can be automatically surfaced, on a display of the client device, with specifically scoped training information on the digital inking gesture to improve the user proficiency with the digital inking gesture.
