First Claim
1. A method for selecting a user-identified option from among a group of mutually exclusive options, the user-identified option being marked by a user with a digital pen on a paper form, the method comprising:
- accessing a stroke collection file comprising data corresponding to a set of digital pen strokes;
determining a subset of digital pen strokes associated with the group of mutually exclusive options;
determining a last digital pen stroke in the subset made by the user, the last digital pen stroke being associated with a particular option in the group of mutually exclusive options; and

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for selecting a user-identified option from among a group of mutually exclusive options. In one embodiment a user marks the user-identified option on a paper form using a digital pen. A stroke collection file includes data corresponding to a set of digital pen strokes. A system determines a subset of the digital pen strokes that are associated with the group of mutually exclusive options. A last pen stroke in the subset made by the user is determined to be the pen stroke intended by the user for selecting among the group of mutually exclusive options.
