摘要： Described is electronic ink maintained as a software object, thereby associating ink functionality with electronic ink data. The ink may be separated into words or characters, with one object per word or character. By the associated functionality, applications that deal with embedded objects in general can automatically benefit from electronic ink, including having the object's functionality render the ink data as part the application's document. Further, because the ink data is maintained as an object, the data is automatically persisted in association with the document into which it is embedded. Ink-aware applications may call on methods of the electronic ink object to adjust formatting, search recognized ink along with text, and perform other functions. Via the electronic ink object, electronic ink substantially approaches much of the behavior normally available with text data, without requiring applications to interpret the ink data.

摘要翻译： 描述了作为软件对象维护的电子墨水，从而将墨水功能与电子墨水数据相关联。 墨水可以分成单词或字符，每个单词或字符具有一个对象。 通过相关功能，处理嵌入式对象的应用程序一般可以自动从电子墨水中受益，包括使对象的功能将墨水数据呈现为应用程序文档的一部分。 此外，由于将墨水数据作为对象进行维护，因此与嵌入其中的文档相关联地自动保持数据。 墨水感应应用程序可以调用电子墨水对象的方法来调整格式，搜索识别的墨水以及文本，并执行其他功能。 通过电子墨水对象，电子墨水基本上接近文本数据通常可用的许多行为，而不需要应用来解释墨水数据。

摘要： Multiple language inputs may be provided to various applications programs and/or threads in a computer system. Such inputs may be directed to various software systems on the computer for further processing, wherein the software systems provide language-specific processing. Each application program and/or thread within an application program active on or accessible by the computer may have a different selected input language. More specifically, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for this process may include: (a) determining an input language for a first application program accepting input through a computer; and (b) selecting at least one software system capable of accepting or operating on at least some of the input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the first application program. The software system(s) may include at least one member selected from the group of: a soft keyboard generator, a handwriting recognizer, and a speech recognizer. In some examples, the input language of various software systems on the computer may be tied to the input language of another software system, such as the soft keyboard. For example, in some instances, a specific handwriting recognizer and/or a specific speech recognizer may be selected for receiving input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the soft keyboard used in the application program.
