Abstract

Here we report on SmartList our prototype for exploring essential features for a handwritten list program. On a freeform list, a lot of information is encoded in the layout and non-text ink: currently there is no effective pen-based computer program to support this activity. Although modern handwriting recognizers can achieve good recognition accuracy, this is not sufficient to support list making. Our prototype and its evaluation are presented in this paper. We identify accurate ink recognition as an essential element for such intelligent pen-based systems.
