Abstract
Analog written content of handwritten drawings or written characters can be transformed into digital ink via an analog-to-ink service. The analog-to-ink service can receive a static image of the analog written content, extract analog strokes from other information, such as background, in the static image, and then convert the analog strokes to digital ink strokes, for example, by populating an ink container with at least two parameters for defining the digital ink strokes. The at least two parameters can include a pressure, at tilt, a direction, a beginning point, an end point, a direction, a color, an order, an overlap, a language, and a time. The analog-to-ink service can provide the ink container to a content creation application that supports inking so that a user can manipulate the content in an inking environment.
