Abstract
A systems, method and computer program product for use in guiding handwriting input to a computing device are provided. The computing device is connected to an input device in the form of an input surface. A user is able to provide input by applying pressure to or gesturing above the input surface using either his or her finger or an instrument such as a stylus or pen. The present system and method monitors the input strokes. The computing device further has a processor and at least one application for recognizing the handwriting input under control of the processor. The at least one system application is configured to cause display of, on an interactive display of the computer device, a guide element contiguous with at least a portion of display of digital ink corresponding to the handwriting input. The guide element is configured to guide further handwriting input.
