Technical Notes

HWR Stroke Limit

When entering text using handwriting recognition, there is a maximum of 60 strokes buffered by the recognizer. This means that you can only write about 5-10 words in ink (depending on how many strokes you use per letter) before allowing the handwriting recognizer convert the ink to text. Any strokes made over the 60-stroke limit will be discarded. This doesn't imply any limit to the number of words total in a particular page, title, etc, simply how much you can write before allowing the recognizer to process it.

Please see other technotes on additional handwriting recognition and capacity topics.
