Abstract

Handwriting activity is recorded by use of electromyography (EMG) signals detected from muscles at several locations on the hand. The EMG signals are sensed and registered. The sensed signals are processed and stored, after which the signals are analyzed to reconstruct handwriting activity into a digital format. Machine edible text is generated and displayed along with a graphical depiction of the handwriting.
