Abstract: A method for processing lists in handwriting, comprising: initially classifying each of a plurality of text lines as a distinct text item which is not part of a list; and a classification process comprising a pattern detection in each text line for classifying each text line starting with a predetermined list symbol as a distinct list item which is part of a list; determining an item indentation of each text item with respect to a reference position and determining for each list item a text indentation representing the indentation of text comprised in said list item; and a merging step for merging, as part of a same text item, or as part of a same list item, if predefined conditions are met. A text structure data model may then be generated based on a result of the merging process.

Abstract: A method for recognizing gesture strokes in user input, comprising: receiving data generated based on the user input, the data representing a stroke and comprising a plurality of ink points in a rectangular coordinate space and a plurality of timestamps associated respectively with the plurality of ink points; segmenting the plurality of ink points into a plurality of segments each corresponding to a respective sub-stroke of the stroke and comprising a respective subset of the plurality of ink points; generating a plurality of feature vectors based respectively on the plurality of segments; and applying the plurality of feature vectors as an input sequence representing the stroke to a trained stroke classifier to generate a vector of probabilities including a probability that the stroke is a non-gesture stroke and a probability that the stroke is a given gesture stroke of a set of gesture strokes.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for use in editing digital documents with handwriting input to a computing device are provided. The computing device is connected to an input device in the form of an input surface. A user is able to provide input by applying pressure to or gesturing above the input surface using either his or her finger or an instrument such as a stylus or pen. The present system and method monitors the input strokes. The computing device further has a processor and at least one application for recognizing the handwriting input under control of the processor. The at least one system application is configured to cause display of, on a display interface of a computing device, first digital ink in accordance with document content, detect handwriting input as one or more editing gestures with respect to the document content, and, cause display of, on the display interface, second digital ink in accordance with handwriting input.
