1. A method of handwriting recognition comprising: using a computer to perform the following: representing a handwritten intended symbol by a trace signal in a handwriting recognizer, sensing the trace signal, storing a digital representation of the trace signal, comparing the digital representation of the trace signal with a plurality of candidate symbols, the comparing providing one of two possible results alternatively wherein a first of said results is recognition of a best candidate symbol among the candidate symbols, and the second of said results is an absence of recognition of a best candidate symbol among the candidate symbols, depending on the outcome of the comparison, displaying the best candidate symbol upon obtaining said recognition of the best candidate, and displaying the digital representation of the trace signal upon said absence of recognition of a best candidates, in a case the best candidate symbol is displayed: sensing a correction signal pertaining to said best candidate symbol, and in response to the correction signal. displaying the digital representation of the trace signal instead of the best candidate symbol.
