Abstract

A computer system used with special input hardware for providing the benefits of computerization to handwritten as well as keyboard entered information to meet a wide spectrum of commonly-occurring, written information processing needs. The input hardware consists of a transparent digitizing tablet mounted atop a flat panel display screen such that a user can handwrite directly upon the display screen with an attached pen. Application program functions include appointment documentation and work scheduling, handwritten or text file creation and manipulation, author-to-typist liaison functions for document production, handwritten annotation to text, handwritten note creation from text, and text document creation from handwritten source material.
