Technologies are generally provided for converting handwritten ink input to text annotations. A user may provide handwritten ink input to content displayed on a computing device to edit and mark up the content. The ink input may be provided employing touch or an electronic stylus on a user interface of the computing device to edit the content. The ink input may be processed to identify insertion of comments, deletion of text, and to identify insertion of markup symbols and shapes. The ink input may be converted to a text annotation based on a context of the ink input and a grammar and proofreading analysis. The text annotation may be displayed in an annotation view. The ink input may be converted periodically after predefined periods of time and upon detection of selection of a conversion button to activate conversion of the ink input.

Ink to text representation conversion

A determination is made as to whether a user has been logged off from the web-based application accessed through a web browser on a computer. If it is determined that the user has been logged off from the web-based application, then a new user interface is provided through the web browser. The new user interface may enable the user to enter user credentials. The user credentials are received through the new user interface. A request to validate the user based on the user credentials is transmitted. Upon transmitting the request to validate the user, an instruction to remove the new user interface is received when the user is validated. Upon receiving the instruction, a display of the web-based application is transformed by removing the new user interface.
