COMPLETING TYPESET CHARACTERS USING HANDWRITTEN STROKES

A system and method for completing a character of a text of a digital document on a computing device, the computing device comprising a processor, a memory, and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium for recognizing input under control of the processor, the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium is configured to cause display (S900) of at least one typeset character of the text on a display interface of the computing device; detect a handwritten input stroke (S902) performed on the digital document in the vicinity of a typeset character; identify an first typeset character (S904) if the typeset character belongs to a list of base characters according to a language model; retrieve a predefined character version (S906) of the first typeset character from the memory; generate a hybrid character (S908) by replacing the initial typeset character by the predefined character; generate a list of character candidates (S910) with associated probabilities of recognition of the hybrid character provided by a recognition expert; select a recognized character (S912) from the character candidate list by using a language expert.
