1. A method for capturing handwritten data, the method comprising:
- detecting, at a computing device comprising a handwriting capture interface, a first position associated with an actuation of the handwriting capture interface to define a handwritten input;
in response to detecting the first position associated with the actuation, defining at least one bounding box encompassing at least a portion of individual strokes of the handwritten input, wherein a size of the at least one bounding box is based at least on the first position associated with the actuation; and
storing the handwritten input and the at least one bounding box.
