Abstract
According to the present invention, a variety of correction methods and systems are disclosed. A first method aspect of the present invention teaches a computer implemented correction method for correcting words and characters entered into a pointer based computer system. The correction method includes the step of receiving a selected word including at least one character, displaying the selected word within a boxed input corrector implemented on the pointer based computer system; receiving a correction input and performing an action indicated by the correction input. The action is determined by a type of the correction input, the types of correction inputs including character editing input, gesture input, navigation input, and external input generated by events external to the boxed input corrector. One embodiment of the present invention teaches a boxed input correction system comprising a pen-based computer system including a central processing unit, memory accessible by the central processing unit, and a dual-function display system having a display screen. The boxed input correction system also includes a boxed input corrector which receives and displays a selected word, receives a correction input indicating an action to be performed on the selected word, and performs the action. When the selected word is an ink word, the boxed input corrector displays the ink word centered within a single box and, when the selected word is a string of one or more well defined characters, the boxed input corrector displays the selected word such that each well defined character has a box associated therewith.
