A method for correcting textual material recognized on a pen-based computer in accordance with the present invention includes the step of receiving an input on a screen of the computer system. The input is then recognized, and a bounding box defining the bounds of the input is defined. A determination of the intention and placement of the recognized input is then made according to the relationship between the bounding box of the recognized input and the bounding boxes of the already existing textual objects. When a substantial overlap is found of the recognized input with an existing textual object and the number of characters of the recognized input is less than a predetermined number, the recognized input is considered as an overwrite of the existing text. If the conditions are not met, the recognized input is considered as an insertion of a new textual object, i.e., a new word. A best potential character is determined from the recognized input if the overwrite conditions are met, and the most overlapped character of the overlapped textual object is replaced by the best potential character.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for correcting text objects displayed on a display screen of a pen based computer system, the method comprising the steps of:a) receiving an initial input on the display screen corresponding to at least one text object;b) recognizing the initial input as said at least one text object having at least one character, wherein the recognized initial input includes a text object bounding box;c) receiving an additional input on the display screen such that an additional input bounding box is defined for said additional input that includes at least one character;d) determining whether said additional input is intended for overwriting based on an amount the additional input overlaps at least a portion of said text object by determining if there is substantial overlap between said additional input bounding box and said text object bounding box;e) re-recognizing the initial input in conjunction with said additional input when it has been determined that the additional input was intended for overwriting;f) determining a best potential replacement character of said text object based upon a result of said re-recognizing step; andg) correcting said text object using the best potential replacement character result and displaying the result.
