On-screen handwriting keyboard

Abstract

To provide an electronic device with a faster and more efficient method and interface for handwriting on a small screen. [Solution] In some embodiments, text candidates for strokes input to the touch-sensing surface are visually inspected and selected according to a rotatable input mechanism.
