Technologies like Anoto pens can make this error discovery and correction task more difficult, because verification of recognizer output may occur many hours after data input, creating an ``out-of-the-moment'' verification scenario. This difficulty can increase the number of recognition errors missed by users in verification. To increase the accuracy of human verified recognizer output, methods of aiding users in the discovery of handwriting recognition errors need to be created. While this need has been recognized by the research community, no published work exists examining this problem. This talk explores the problem of creating error discovery aids for handwriting recognition TPPIC:ryan_bw.jpg DIONE: DITWO: DITHREE: DIFOUR: AIONE:Meeting for April 29th will be in DC 2303 AITWO: AITHREE: AIFOUR: DMONE: DMTWO: DMTHREE: DMFOUR: SEMINARS:
