Abstract
A method and apparatus for changing a segment of one or more strokes which are to constitute any of characters and signs by recognizing a relationship in the position between the frame encompassing the strokes previously hand-written and a stroke newly hand-written; judging whether there is any requirement for changing the segment by referring the above recognized relationship in the position to predetermined relationships; recognizing, if there is no requirement, the above newly hand-written stroke as a stroke which constitutes, alone or in combination with strokes to be hand written later, a character other than the character encompassed by the frame; ascertaining, if there is a requirement, the above newly hand-written stroke as any of one or more changing-instruction strokes which identify predetermined types of strokes for changing the segment; and changing the above segment according to the changing-instruction stroke.
