Ryan Stedman	Title : Aiding Out-of-the-Moment Discovery of Handwriting Recognition Errors Abstract: Handwriting recognizers occasionally misinterpret digital ink input, requiring users to compare their ink input to the recognizer output to identify and correct errors. 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 and may involve the verification of many documents. We explore the design space for error discovery aids geared toward ''out-of-the-moment'' verification. We present three discovery techniques based on these factors, a visual proximity technique, a multimodal technique, and a character manipulation technique, and analyze the performance of our techniques. This is the first experimental study of techniques that aid in the discovery of handwriting recognition errors.
