Abstract
A method and system for providing hand-written command processing includes a network-connected application server receiving from a user device data storing hand-written information. The hand-written information is processed to identify one or more hand-written characters included in the data. A determination is made as to whether the identified characters include a command for initiating an action across the communication network. Upon determining that the characters include a command, the application server automatically performs the action identified by the command across the communication network. The action can include generating and sending a messaging service message or an e-mail, creating a scheduled reminder, creating and storing a checklist or note, or retrieving a previously stored checklist or note, based on information included in the hand-written characters. The user device may be a tablet-type user device.
