Abstract
The disclosure relates to a character input method and system, which may include a digital device including a touchscreen that has a recognition area and an insertion area. The method and system may include hardware and/or operations for: scrolling a string of characters that are displayed in the recognition area so as to select a position between a first character and a second character; detecting input strokes that are entered manually in the insertion area; performing handwriting recognition to convert the detected input strokes into recognised characters; inserting, at the position within the string of characters, the recognised characters; and scrolling the string of characters in the recognition area so as to display, in the recognition area, the recognised characters that were inserted into the string of characters.
