Is the Handwriting Recognition System “trainable”??
No, well not exactly. The HWR system is trainable, but just not in the way that is assumed by most users. This question usually refers to the ability to create different stroke or character patterns that can be used as letters, numbers or symbols. The Microsoft Handwriting Recognition Engine is a “segment” or word based system and the capability to create different patterns with an expectation that this will impact recognition results is a fallacy. The results of recognition are a function of what words are in the dictionaries, not how the characters are formed.
