Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for use in providing interactive ink from 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 an ink management system for recognizing the handwriting input under control of the processor. The ink management system is configured to cause display of, on a display interface of a computing device, first digital ink in accordance with first handwriting input, allocate references to ink elements of the first digital ink, define boundaries of the first digital ink associated with the allocated references, cause placement of an editing position at a defined boundary in response to an editing gesture, cause display of, on the display interface of the computing device, first typeset ink in accordance with first typeset input at the editing position.
