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.
