Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device including a touch screen, a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to detect a handwriting recognition request for a first handwriting input while displaying the first handwriting input on the touch screen, in response to detecting the handwriting recognition request, perform the handwriting recognition for the first handwriting input to identify a text corresponding to the first handwriting input, apply at least one color of the first handwriting input identified based on the handwriting recognition to the text, present a first rich text to which the at least one color has been applied, adjacent to the first handwriting input, and in response to a request for replacing the first handwriting input with the first rich text, replace the first handwriting input with the first rich text.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic device for processing a handwriting input and including a touch screen, a processor operatively connected with the touch screen, and a memory operatively connected with the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to control the electronic device to perform handwriting recognition for a first handwriting input of a user displayed on the touch screen, to convert the first handwriting input into a text, identify at least one of an attribute or characteristic of the first handwriting input, apply at least one of the identified attribute or characteristic to the converted text, and in response to a request for conversion of the first handwriting input, replace the first handwriting input into a text (herein after, a first rich text) to which the identified at least one of the attribute or characteristic has been applied.

Abstract: An electronic device and method are disclosed. The electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display, a memory and a processor. The processor implements the method, including: detect a written input including a plurality of strokes through the display, group the plurality of strokes into a first group and a second group based on respective coordinates of each of the plurality of strokes, group first strokes included in the first group into a plurality of blocks, based on a distance between respective coordinates of each of the first strokes, determine a slope for each of the plurality of blocks, rotate an area corresponding to the first group based on the determined slope, execute handwriting recognition on the first strokes based on the rotated area, and displaying a result of the handwriting recognition on the display.
