1. A method comprising:
- receiving a handwritten input on a touch-sensitive display of a device, the touch-sensitive display being configured to sense a writing component of the handwritten input and a pressure component of the handwritten input;
determining whether the handwritten input corresponds to character input or gesture input based at least partially on the pressure component;
if the handwritten input corresponds to character input;
identifying one or more candidates for the handwritten input;
presenting the one or more candidates;
presenting one of the candidates as a provisional current input;
receiving an input selecting one of the candidates; and
presenting the selected candidate as an accepted input; and
if the handwritten input corresponds to gesture input, performing a function associated with an identified gesture.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for inputting text. A handwriting area is presented on a touch-sensitive display of a device. A handwritten input is received in the handwriting area. One or more candidates are identified for the handwritten input and presented. An input selecting one of the candidates is received. The selected candidate is presented as a current input in a text input area of the touch sensitive display.

12. A portable device comprising:
-
a touch-sensitive display; memory; one or more processors; and instructions stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the instructions comprising instructions to; receive a handwritten input on the touch-sensitive display, the touch-sensitive display being configured to sense a writing component of the handwritten input and a pressure component of the handwritten input; determine whether the handwritten input corresponds to character input or gesture input based at least partially on the pressure component; if the handwritten input corresponds to character input; identify one or more candidates for the handwritten input; present the one or more candidates; present one of the candidates as a provisional current input; receive an input selecting one of the candidates; and present the selected candidate as an accepted input; and if the handwritten input corresponds to gesture input, perform a function associated with an identified gesture. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, causes:
-
receiving a handwritten input on a touch-sensitive display of a device, the touch-sensitive display being configured to sense a writing component of the handwritten input and a pressure component of the handwritten input; determining whether the handwritten input corresponds to character input or gesture input based at least partially on the pressure component; if the handwritten input corresponds to character input; identifying one or more candidates for the handwritten input; presenting the one or more candidates; presenting one of the candidates as a provisional current input; receiving an input selecting one of the candidates; and presenting the selected candidate as an accepted input; and if the handwritten input corresponds to gesture input, performing a function associated with an identified gesture. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
