Abstract

In one aspect, an apparatus includes a processor, a touch-enabled display operatively coupled to the processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to execute a handwriting recognition engine automatically without requiring user selection of a handwriting recognition application to start the handwriting recognition engine, receive input from the touch-enabled display, determine whether the input indicates a character, and automatically store the character responsive to a determination that the input indicates a character.

Claims (7)

1. A computer readable storage medium that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor of a device to:

execute a handwriting recognition engine responsive to a command to initiate booting of the device, the command being received based on selection of a power button on the device;

receive input from a touch-enabled display;

determine whether the input indicates handwriting;

responsive to a determination that the input indicates handwriting, determine whether the input indicates a character;

responsive to a determination that the input indicates a character, create a file and store the character in a file; and

responsive to the determination that the input indicates a character, launch an application different from the hand writing recognition engine, the application being manipulable to manage the file.
