UNINTENDED RESULTS DETECTION IN A PEN-BASED COMPUTER SYSTEM

An improved mechanism for converting handwritten input data into text a nd commands in a computer system is provided. An unintended results detection component is used after the handwritten data has been converted to text and commands. The unintended results detection component determines when the converted text an d commands were likely unintended by the computer user. If the unintended results detection component determines that the converted text and commands were likely unintended by the computer user, the unintended results detection component outputs an indication to the user. The user then has the option of accepting or rejecti ng the interpretation of the system of the handwritten input data.
