Silverlight SearchTIP and alternates
Julie Lerman links to the Silverlight-based SearchTIP that I posted the other day.
In it she mentions that you can access the recognition alternates for words by tapping on the recognized words themselves. For example, let’s say you handwrite the query “Tablet PC”:
As you can see the handwriting recognizer recognized the words correctly and displayed “Tablet PC.”
However, what if this wasn’t the case? You can get alternate recognition results by tapping on the recognized words. The reco word will cycle through the various alternates that the recognition had returned. For instance, one tap on the word “Tablet” changes the recognition to lowercase “tablet PC”:
Tapping again, changes “tablet” to “tabla”:
And one more click turns “tabla” into “Tabler”:
And, finally, one more click restores “Tabler” to the correct word, “Tablet”:
There really should be a correction UI that appears when you click on a word, but that’ll have to wait.
Oh, and by the way, I think I fixed the resizing bug which was accidentally reducing the size of the ink surface when the window width was reduced. I hope it’s fixed anyway.
