CHAPTER 6
Data Input
Writing, Drawing, and Editing 6-19
an Alpha Sorter picker if a user writes ink text in the Name field (which
determines the card’s sequence).
If your application simply sorts ink text with recognized text, the ink text
comes before the recognized text that comes first alphabetically.

Forcing Recognition 6
Under some circumstances your application may have to recognize ink text
forcibly. For example, when a user tries to place a call to an ink-text phone
number, the Calls application forces recognition of the ink text. If your
application forces recognition, make sure it allows the user to correct mistakes
in the recognized text before it acts on the text.
Configuring Recognition 6
You can configure recognition separately for each field in your application.
For example, in one field you could disable recognition of shapes and
configure the text recognizer to recognize only names, and in another field
you could configure recognition differently.
