A cross-application architecture for pen-based mathematical interfaces
Abstract:
We address the problem of organizing pen-based environments
for processing handwritten mathematics. Our approach is based
on providing portable ink-aware mathematical interfaces to
existing document processing software and mathematical packages.
Our architecture includes components for on-line ink collection,
mathematically-oriented recognizers, portability support,
and interfaces to applications.
We present a pen-based computing environment Mathink and give
an overview of its facilities for training,
ink annotation and performance testing.
