Handwriting keyboard for screens
The present disclosure generally relates to handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. In some examples, text suggestions strokes entered on a touch sensitive surface are viewed and selected in response to a rotatable input mechanism. In some examples, text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface is revised based on a subsequently entered stroke on the touch sensitive surface. In some examples, a determination is made whether to include a stroke in a set of strokes based a time between the stroke and the previous stroke. In some examples, determining text based on a set of stroke is interrupted to determined revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a touch sensitive surface;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a user input interface on the display including a message area and a stroke input area;
receiving, on the touch sensitive surface in the stroke input area, a first stroke;
in response to receiving the first stroke:
determining a first character based on the first stroke; and
displaying the first character in the message area;
at a first time after receiving the first stroke, receiving on the touch sensitive surface a second stroke that overlaps with the first stroke, wherein the second stroke is distinct from the first stroke;
determining whether the first time exceeds a threshold time;
in accordance with a determination that the first time exceeds the threshold time:
determining a second character based on the second stroke and not based on the first stroke; and
displaying the second character in the message area; and
in accordance with a determination that the first time is less than the threshold time:
determining a revised first character based on the first stroke and the second stroke; and
replacing display of the first character in the message area with the revised first character in the message area.
2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first character and the second character are separated by a space.
3. The electronic device of claim 1 further comprising:
determining context associated with the first character; and
determining the second character is further based on the context.
4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first character is a phonetic character.
5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first character is a logographic character.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and a touch sensitive surface, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a user input interface on the display including a message area and a stroke input area;
receiving, on the touch sensitive surface in the stroke input area, a first stroke;
in response to receiving the first stroke:
determining a first character based on the first stroke; and
displaying the first character in the message area;
at a first time after receiving the first stroke, receiving on the touch sensitive surface a second stroke that overlaps with the first stroke, wherein the second stroke is distinct from the first stroke;
determining whether the first time exceeds a threshold time;
in accordance with a determination that the first time exceeds the threshold time:
determining a second character based on the second stroke and not based on the first stroke; and
displaying the second character in the message area; and
in accordance with a determination that the first time is less than the threshold time:
determining a revised first character based on the first stroke and the second stroke; and
replacing display of the first character in the message area with the revised first character in the message area.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the first character and the second character are separated by a space.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 further comprising:
determining context associated with the first character; and
determining the second character is further based on the context.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the first character is a phonetic character.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the first character is a logographic character.
11. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device having one or more processors, a touch sensitive surface, and a display:
displaying a user input interface on the display including a message area and a stroke input area;
receiving, on the touch sensitive surface in the stroke input area, a first stroke;
in response to receiving the first stroke:
determining a first character based on the first stroke; and
displaying the first character in the message area;
at a first time after receiving the first stroke, receiving on the touch sensitive surface a second stroke that overlaps with the first stroke, wherein the second stroke is distinct from the first stroke;
determining whether the first time exceeds a threshold time;
in accordance with a determination that the first time exceeds the threshold time:
determining a second character based on the second stroke and not based on the first stroke; and
displaying the second character in the message area; and
in accordance with a determination that the first time is less than the threshold time:
determining a revised first character based on the first stroke and the second stroke; and
replacing display of the first character in the message area with the revised first character in the message area.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first character and the second character are separated by a space.
13. The method of claim 11 further comprising:
determining context associated with the first character; and
determining the second character is further based on the context.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first character is a phonetic character.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first character is a logographic character.
