Abstract

This paper proposes a novel online overlapped handwriting recognition system for mobile devices such as cellular phones. Users can input characters continuously without pauses on the single writing area. It has three features: small writing area, quick response and direct operations with handwritten gestures. Therefore, it is suitable for mobile devices such as cellular phones. The system realizes a new handwriting interface similar to touch-typing. We evaluated the system by two experiments: character recognition performance and text entry speed of Japanese sentences. Through these experiments we showed the effectiveness of the proposed system.
