A method of recognizing handwriting, comprising: receiving at least two handwriting strokes from a touch screen; determining text regions corresponding to respective the at least two handwriting strokes; calculating each size of the text regions; determining whether the text regions overlap each other; selecting a specific text region among the text regions into an excluding strokes group based on at least one of the size of the specific text region, a ratio of an overlap region between the specific text region and other text regions to the specific text region, and a number of overlap regions between the specific text region and the other text regions; and recognizing characters of the text regions except for the excluding strokes group.
