Handwriting Recognition

  • Artikkeli

This section discusses the fundamentals of recognition as it pertains to digital ink in the WPF platform.

Recognition Solutions

The following example shows how to recognize ink using the Microsoft.Ink.InkCollector class.

Note

This sample requires that handwriting recognizers be installed on the system.

Create a new WPF application project in Visual Studio called InkRecognition. Replace the contents of the Window1.xaml file with the following XAML code. This code renders the application's user interface.

<Window x:Class="InkRecognition.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="InkRecognition" 
    >
  <Canvas Name="theRootCanvas">
    <Border
      Background="White"
      BorderBrush="Black"
      BorderThickness="2"
      Height="300"
      Width="300"
      Canvas.Top="10"
      Canvas.Left="10">
      <InkCanvas Name="theInkCanvas"></InkCanvas>
    </Border>
    <TextBox Name="textBox1"
      Height="25"
      Width="225"
      Canvas.Top="325"
      Canvas.Left="10"></TextBox>
    <Button
      Height="25"
      Width="75"
      Canvas.Top="325"
      Canvas.Left="235"
      Click="buttonClick">Recognize</Button>
        <Button x:Name="btnClear" Content="Clear Canvas" Canvas.Left="10" Canvas.Top="367" Width="75" Click="btnClear_Click"/>
    </Canvas>
</Window>

Add a reference to the Microsoft Ink assembly, Microsoft.Ink.dll, which can be found in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink. Replace the contents of the code behind file with the following code.

using System.Windows;
using Microsoft.Ink;
using System.IO;

namespace InkRecognition

    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for Window1.xaml
    /// </summary>

    public partial class Window1 : Window
    {

        public Window1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        // Recognizes handwriting by using RecognizerContext
        private void buttonClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
            {
                theInkCanvas.Strokes.Save(ms);
                var myInkCollector = new InkCollector();
                var ink = new Ink();
                ink.Load(ms.ToArray());

                using (RecognizerContext context = new RecognizerContext())
                {
                    if (ink.Strokes.Count > 0)
                    {
                        context.Strokes = ink.Strokes;
                        RecognitionStatus status;

                        var result = context.Recognize(out status);

                        if (status == RecognitionStatus.NoError)
                            textBox1.Text = result.TopString;
                        else
                            MessageBox.Show("Recognition failed");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("No stroke detected");
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        private void btnClear_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 
        {
            theInkCanvas.Strokes.Clear();
        }
    }
