Method and system for displaying handwritten data and recognized symbols
First Claim
1. A method in a computer system of displaying handwritten data and symbols, the method comprising:
- receiving handwritten data;
receiving symbols that correspond to the handwritten data, in that the handwritten data and the symbols corresponding to the handwritten data each constitute a different expression of the same information;
displaying in a first subwindow a portion of the handwritten data;
displaying in a second subwindow distinct from the first subwindow the symbols that correspond to the displayed portion of the handwritten data while simultaneously displaying the portion of the handwritten data; and
in response to a request to scroll,displaying another symbol that is adjacent to the previously displayed symbols; and
displaying a portion of the handwritten data that corresponds to the other symbol while simultaneously displaying the other symbol.

Abstract
A method and system for training a handwriting recognizer at the time of misrecognition is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a trainer program traps and stores the output from a recognizer. The output includes the recognized symbols mapped to the handwritten data. When training is requested by a user, the trainer displays the handwritten data that was input by the user and the recognized symbols. The user then selects the symbols to train on. In response to the selection, the trainer displays the portion of the handwritten data corresponding to the selected symbols. The user then enters the symbols that the displayed portion of the handwritten data should be recognized as. The trainer then requests the recognizer to train based on the displayed portion of the data and the entered symbols. When training is complete, the trainer requests re-recognition of the handwritten data and displays the newly recognized symbols.

5. A method in a computer system for displaying handwritten data and symbols, the method comprising:
-
displaying a portion of the handwritten data and symbols that correspond to the portion of the handwritten data, in that the handwritten data and the symbols corresponding to the handwritten data each constitute a different expression of the same information, so that the handwritten data and the corresponding symbols are displayed simultaneously, the handwritten data being displayed in a first subwindow and the corresponding symbols being displayed in a second subwindow distinct from the first subwindow; and scrolling the handwritten data and the corresponding symbols in tandem so that whenever a portion of the handwritten data is displayed, the corresponding symbols are simultaneously displayed. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 12)

8. A computer-readable memory device whose contents cause a computer system to display handwritten data and symbols by:
-
receiving handwritten data; receiving symbols that correspond to the handwritten data, in that the handwritten data and the symbols corresponding to the handwritten data each constitute a different expression of the same information; displaying a portion of the handwritten data in a first subwindow; displaying the symbols that correspond to the displayed portion of the handwritten data in a second subwindow distinct from the first subwindow while simultaneously displaying the portion of the handwritten data; and in response to a request to scroll, displaying another symbol that is adjacent to the previously displayed symbols; and displaying a portion of the handwritten data that corresponds to the other symbol while simultaneously displaying the other symbol. - View Dependent Claims (13)

9. A computer-readable memory device whose contents cause a computer system to display handwritten data and symbols by:
-
displaying a portion of the handwritten data and symbols that correspond to the portion of the handwritten data, in that the handwritten data and the symbols corresponding to the handwritten data each constitute a different expression of the same information, so that the handwritten data and the corresponding symbols are displayed simultaneously, the handwritten data being displayed in a first subwindow and the corresponding symbols being displayed in a second subwindow distinct from the first subwindow; and scrolling the handwritten data and the corresponding symbols in tandem so that whenever a portion of the handwritten data is displayed, the corresponding symbols are simultaneously displayed. - View Dependent Claims (14)
