The words in this list are one example of correction information stored by the
system as it recognizes words. In addition to word lists, correction information
includes the original stroke data and information known as
learning data .
Learning data is information gathered as the user corrects misrecognized words. It
is used to modify the system’s internal handwriting model to more closely match
the way the user actually writes. This information is called
learning data because
the system can be said to learn various characteristics of the user’s handwriting
style, with a resulting increase in recognition accuracy. Not all recognizers return
learning data.
