Abstract:
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that improve handwriting recognition operations. A balancing factor is calculated that can be used in recognition mode to compare out-of-dictionary recognition scores with in-dictionary recognition scores. Correct ink samples of words are provided, with some in-dictionary and some out-of-dictionary words. One or more tuning sets are generated from the samples, the tuning set(s) having a percentage of out-of-dictionary words based upon what is expected for a typical user. A handwriting recognizer is run against the tuning set(s) to determine statistics. The statistics are based upon the recognized answer for each word compared to the correct answer. The statistics are used to calculate the balancing factor. During recognition mode, a user inputs handwriting to be recognized. The balancing factor is used to compare and combine an in-dictionary alternate list with an out-of-dictionary alternate list to reach a recognition decision.
