Abstract
A method for using information provided during error correction for modifying character prototypes in an on-line handwriting recognition system is disclosed. The method allows a user to correct misrecognized handwritten characters by overwriting directly on the displayed ASCII representation of the recognition result for a given character. The rewritten character is then used to silently retrain the system so as to adapt it to the user's particular handwriting style.
