Tablet PC: Using WordLists and Coerce mode with the RecognizerContext

  • [アーティクル]

In my last post, I demonstrated setting the Factoid property on a RecognizerContext object. Setting the Factoid provides contextual information for the handwriting recognizers. One of the special Factoids is the “WordList” Factoid. The WordList Factoid is used in conjunction with the WordList property on the RecognizerContext object. The WordList property is essentially a collection of strings which specify possible recognition results. A typical scenario would be a field on your application’s form where you expect your end user to input only a known set of values.

Simple example of using the WordList factoid:

// Instantiate a RecognizerContext object

RecognizerContext context = new RecognizerContext();

// Set the Factoid to "WordList"

context.Factoid = Factoid.WordList;

// Instantiate a new WordList, add some strings

WordList list = new WordList();

list.Add("Car");

list.Add("Truck");

// Set the WordList property on the RecognizerContext

context.WordList = list;

When recognition is performed, the recognizers will try to use “Car” and “Truck” for the recognition result. But what if you want to force the recognizers to use your WordList? In this case you want to set the Coerce flag on the RecognizerContext.RecognitionFlags property. If you set that flag, the recognizers will return a result from your WordList, or a null RecognitionResult if there are no entries in your WordList that can be used.

In the following example code, I’ve updated the basic ink application sample with a wordlist of people, possibly coworkers. If the collected ink can be recognized as one of the WordList items, the result is shown. If the collected ink can not be interpreted as one of the word list items, the user is prompted. Since I've set the Coerce flag in RecognitionFlags, the recognition result will be either nothing (null) or one of the items from the WordList.

**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:

For more information of Factoids see the msdn article:

Using WordLists in your application can be a great way to customize the handwriting recognition to create a better end-user experience for your Ink enabled application. Dynamically populating WordLists would be a great way to implement such a solution, since you can use up to date data from a file, database, or other source.
