Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and computer-storage media provide character string templates to facilitate receiving non-prose handwriting input from a user and converting that input to text to create character strings capable of being provided to application and/or displayed to the user. Templates may be provided manually or automatically, and may or may not be associated with an application text box. A template generally contains pre-populated segments and open segments for receiving handwriting.
