Abstract

A method and device is provided for recognizing characters in a handwritten input representing an input character string. A character sub-string preceding an unrecognized character in the input character string is determined. Handwriting recognition is used to provide one or more candidate characters for the unrecognized character. One of the one or more candidate characters is then selected. The candidate character selected, is the one which is most likely to be a correct recognition of the unrecognized character based on the determined character sub-string.
