IInkRecognizer

4/8/2010

Represents the ability to process ink, or handwriting, and translate the stroke into text. The recognizer creates an IInkRecognizerContext object, which is used to perform the actual handwriting recognition.

A recognizer has specific attributes and properties that allow it to perform recognition. The properties of a recognizer must be determined before recognition can occur. The types of properties that a recognizer supports determine the types of recognition it can perform. For instance, if a recognizer doesn't support cursive handwriting, it returns inaccurate results when a user writes in cursive.

A recognizer also has built-in functionality that automatically manages many aspects of handwriting. For instance, it determines the metrics for the lines on which strokes are drawn. You can return the line number of a stroke, but you never need to specify how those line metrics are determined because of the built-in functionality of the recognizer.
