Real Time Is Better Than Deferred Time
Deferred recognition offers the seductive advantages of speed and
instantaneous response. By collecting ink without pausing to recognize it, an application
can easily keep up with rapid pen movements. The input can be recognized later
when requested by the user, or perhaps during periods of user inactivity.
However, Microsoft tests have demonstrated that the accuracy of deferred
recognition often compares unfavorably to real-time recognition. This has nothing to
do with the recognizers, since they apply the same processing procedures to
the data regardless of when the ink is collected. The discrepancy arises from the
fact that people tend to write more carelessly if not continually informed
about the recognizer's success rate.
By seeing the recognition results as they write, users naturally adapt their
writing speed and style to assure the greatest recognition accuracy. Although in
theory the user should train the recognizer, to a certain extent the reverse
undeniably occurs.
