Abstract

A system for capturing and reproducing handwriting. The writer employs a stylus or pen in combination with a digital writing tablet that captures the gestural movements of the stylus during writing, as well as the timing and rhythm of the strokes. A recognition engine analyzes the gestural movement data and produces a sequence of values identifying characters in a character set, as well as additional pictogram data which records the shape of non-character data written on the tablet. The recognition engine further generates ancillary data which further describes individual characters or groups of characters, specifying their size, slope, absolute position, applied stylus pressure, timing and rhythm, color, spacing, and other data that enables a rendering engine to select a font to represent the original handwriting and to further modify the selected font representation of the characters or groups of characters in a manner specified by the ancillary data.
