Abstract: For reduced storage of user stroke data, systems, apparatus, and methods are disclosed. The apparatus includes a handwriting input device that receives input stroke data, a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code including code that identifies a handwritten character from the stroke data, maps the handwritten character to a user-specific font character based on the stroke data, and creates a file storing a character encoding corresponding to the user-specific font character. The handwriting input device may include an input device selected from the group consisting of: a touchscreen, a touch panel, a digitizer, a digital pen, a scanner, an imager, and a digital camera.
