Abstract
A system and method are provided for recognizing handwritten alphanumeric characters placed at varying, programmable angles across a display device. Therefore, the system and method can recognize handwritten characters entered at different angles, yet maintains other textual information at a horizontal angle relative to the display device. Therefore, a user can enter handwritten information at any desired angle convenient and less cumbersome to the user, yet allows a user to read text at the natural, horizontal display position as if the display is presented within the horizontal viewing angle of the user. This prevents the user from having to tilt his/her head to read text arranged at the same angle as the handwritten input.

15. A method for converting handwritten information into textual information inserted into a document, comprising:
-
opening a document containing text extending along a horizontal axis parallel to a lateral edge of the screen nearest a user;
entering a position among the text by pointing a pen device to the position and actuating the pen device;
inserting textual information at the position by;
moving a pen device across the screen at an angle relative to the horizontal axis to form handwritten information;
converting the handwritten information into textual information; and
displaying the textual information at the position among the text. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
