Using Context to Improve Accuracy

A handwriting recognition engine, or recognizer, is software that processes ink and converts that ink into text. A context is relevant, application-specific information that you provide to a recognizer to improve recognition accuracy. In other words, context is any piece of information about input that aids the recognizer in accurately processing the ink in a field.
