How To: Perform basic handwriting recognition with the RecognizerContext object

In my last post I created a basic Windows Forms project that references the Tablet PC API (1.7) and utilizes an InkOverlay to collect ink. In this post, I'm going to hook up basic handwriting recognition using the RecognizerContext object. You will want to read the last post if you are planning on following this example.

Step 1: Add a button, and click handler

  • Open the project from the previous post (see link above)
  • Drag a button from the toolbox onto your form
  • Change the text to "Recognize" and the name to "buttonRecognize" in the properties window
  • Double click on the button in the designer to add a click handler

Step 2: Implement the recognition code in the click handler

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using Microsoft.Ink; // The managed Tablet PC API

namespace BasicInkApplication

{

    public partial class BasicInkApplication : Form

    {

        // The InkOverlay that we'll attach to our Form

        private InkOverlay inkOverlay;

        public BasicInkApplication()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

            // Create an InkOverlay object that's attached to the Form

            this.inkOverlay = new InkOverlay(this);

            // Enable the InkOverlay (default is Enabled == false)

            this.inkOverlay.Enabled = true;

            // The InkOverlay needs to be disposed due to unmanaged resources

            // used by the InkOverlay

            this.FormClosing += new FormClosingEventHandler(BasicInkApplication_FormClosing);

        }

        void BasicInkApplication_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)

        {

            this.inkOverlay.Dispose();

        }

        private void buttonRecognize_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            // Instantiate a RecognizerContext object

            RecognizerContext context = new RecognizerContext();

            // Add the strokes collected by our InkOverlay

            context.Strokes = this.inkOverlay.Ink.Strokes;

            // Perform recognition, pass a RecognitionStatus object

            // that will give the status of the recognition

            RecognitionStatus status;

            RecognitionResult result = context.Recognize(out status);

            MessageBox.Show(result.TopString);

context.Dispose();

// Free the unmanaged resources

        }

    }

}

**Note that on non-Tablet PC OS platforms, you'll need to install the recognizer pack, otherwise the RecognizerContext object will throw an exception when it is instantiated. You can download the recognizer pack from the following location:

https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=080184dd-5e92-4464-b907-10762e9f918b&DisplayLang=en

This is all you need to perform basic handwriting recognition. (See attached screenshot) Note that you should check the status object to make sure it has the value: RecognitionStatus.NoError in order to ensure Recognition was successful. If this value is not returned, you should handle the error appropriately. You can also get alternates (best guesses) to allow the user to correct the recognition.

See ya!
