Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input surface, ink input; determining, using a processor, typeset for the ink input; providing, on a display, a combined display of the ink input and the typeset; where the combined display visually associates the ink input and the typeset. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (43)

1. A method, comprising:

accepting, at an input surface, ink input comprising a plurality of words;

determining, using a processor, typeset for the ink input, wherein the determining comprises converting the ink input of the plurality of words into typeset of the plurality of words, wherein the ink input of the plurality of words and the typeset of the plurality of words are linked;

providing, on a display, a default presentation of one of: the ink input and the typeset, wherein the other of the ink input and the typeset not provided in the default presentation is a non-dominant representation;

receiving a selection input on at least a portion of the default presentation; and

providing, based upon the selection input, a combined display of the ink input and the typeset, wherein the combined display comprises a simultaneous display of the portion and surrounding text of the default presentation and a corresponding portion and surrounding text of the non-dominant representation and wherein, responsive to receiving a user input modifying one of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display, the other of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display is dynamically adjusted to incorporate the modification, wherein the combined display comprises a visual association identifying a link between the dominant representation and the non-dominant representation, wherein the combined display comprises at least one of a flashlight view and a side-by-side view,

wherein the providing a combined display comprises scaling the typeset,

wherein the scaling proceeds dynamically in response to added ink input, and

wherein the combined display visually associates the ink input and the typeset dynamically.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the side-by-side view comprises a side-by-side display of the ink input and the typeset.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combined display comprises a first view and a second view; each of the first view and the second view comprising one of the ink input and the typeset.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the second view comprises a window.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the window is displayed responsive to user input.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the window is displayed in association with a cursor location.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving editing input in the combined display on the non-dominant representation, wherein the editing input for the non-dominant display comprises a gesture of at least one of: a hovering position of a stylus, a touch input, or a cursor position.

8. A device, comprising:

a display;

an input surface;

a processor operatively coupled to the display and the input surface;

a memory device that stores instructions executed by the processor to:

accept, at the input surface, ink input comprising a plurality of words;

determine typeset for the ink input, wherein to determine comprises to convert the ink input of the plurality of words into typeset of the plurality of words, wherein the ink input of the plurality of words and the typeset of the plurality of words are linked;

provide, on the display, a default presentation of one of: the ink input and the typeset, wherein the other of the ink input and the typeset not provided in the default presentation is a non-dominant representation;

receive a selection input on at least a portion of the default presentation; and

provide, based upon the selection input, a combined display of the ink input and the typeset, wherein the combined display comprises a simultaneous display of the portion and surrounding text of the default presentation and a corresponding portion and surrounding text of the non-dominant representation and wherein, responsive to receiving a user input modifying one of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display, the other of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display is dynamically adjusted to incorporate the modification, wherein the combined display comprises a visual association identifying a link between the dominant representation and the non-dominant representation, wherein the combined display comprises at least one of: a flashlight view and a side-by-side view,

wherein the instructions executed by the processor to provide a combined display comprise instructions to scale the typeset,

wherein the instructions executed by the processor to scale proceed dynamically in response to added ink input, and

wherein the combined display visually associates the ink input and the typeset dynamically.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the side-by-side view comprises a side-by-side display of the ink input and the typeset.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the combined display comprises a first view and a second view; each of the first view and the second view comprising one of the ink input and the typeset.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the second view comprises a window.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the window is displayed responsive to user input.

13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the window is displayed in association with a cursor location.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to receive editing input in the combined display on the non-dominant representation, wherein the editing input for the non-dominant display comprises a gesture of at least one of: a hovering position of a stylus, a touch input, or a cursor position.

15. A product, comprising: a non-transitory storage device having code stored therewith, the code is executed by a processor and comprising:

code that accepts, at an input surface, ink input comprising a plurality of words;

code that determines, using the processor, typeset for the ink input, wherein the determining comprises converting the ink input of the plurality of words into typeset of the plurality of words, wherein the ink input of the plurality of words and the typeset of the plurality, of words are linked;

code that provides, on a display, a default presentation of one of: the ink input and the typeset, wherein the other of the ink input and the typeset not provided in the default presentation is a non-dominant representation;

code that receives a selection input on at least a portion of the default presentation; and

code that provides, based upon the selection input, a combined display of the ink input and the typeset, wherein the combined display comprises a simultaneous display of the portion and surrounding text of and a corresponding portion and surrounding text of the non-dominant representation and wherein, responsive to receiving a user input modifying one of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display, the other of the typeset or the ink input in the combined display is dynamically adjusted to incorporate the modification, Wherein the combined display comprises a visual association identifying a link between the dominant representation and the non-dominant representation, wherein the combined display comprises at least one of: a flashlight view and a side-by-side view,

Wherein the code executed by the processor to provide a combined display comprise instructions to scale the typeset,

wherein the code executed by the processor to scale proceed dynamically in response to added ink input, and

wherein the combined display visually associates the ink input and the typeset dynamically.
