Abstract
An apparatus () for handwriting recognition has a touch-sensitive display screen () providing a hand writing input area () capable of detecting hand-made user input. The apparatus also has a processing device () coupled to the touch-sensitive display screen and providing a user interface to a user. The handwriting input area () includes a writing start area () capable of switching between a first two-dimensional scope () and a second two-dimensional scope ('), larger than the first two-dimensional scope. The processing device () is configured to handle said handmade user input as either a logical mouse event, associated with a control operation for said user interface, or a logical pen event, associated with handwriting. User input within the writing start area when having its first two-dimensional scope is handled as a logical mouse event and causes the writing start area to switch to its second two-dimensional scope, Furthermore, user input that starts within the writing start area when having its second two-dimensional scope is handled as a logical pen event and causes interpretation of the user input () as a symbol () from a plurality of predefined symbols.
