Input Panel with custom recognizer

[Ilia Shramko]

Hi,
I am developing a handwriting recognizer for Russian language using
Recognizer API.
I have some problems making Input Panel "Add to dictionary/Remove from
dictionary" feature work with it.

I implemented all functions required, I believe, including
AddWordsToWordList, DestroyWordList, MakeWordList, SetWordList &
IsStringSupported but I don't have the same call pattern as default
recognizers for U.S. English have. And even when I have (almost the same) it
just doesn't work - "Add to dictionary" button is disabled.
But it works fine when I replace a default U.S. English recognizer
(mshwusa.dll) with my one.

Have you got any idea why it is so and what should I do about it?

Thank you.

Hello Ilia,

When the Input Panel displays the correction UI, your recognizer should be
called on the IsStringSupported API. What does your implementation return
when IsStringSupported is being called with a random string?

Here is a quick test program to check this out (C#):
Recognizers recos = new Recognizers();
Recognizer russianReco = recos.GetDefaultRecognizer(1049);
RecognizerContext rc = russianReco.CreateRecognizerContext();
bool isInDictionary = rc.IsStringSupported("someRandomString");

Thanks,
Stefan Wick

Hi Ilia,

I just checked with the team who owns this functionality. Your guess was
correct: in the current version of the TabletPC Input Panel, the feature
only gets enabled if all characters are part of code page 1237.

Thanks,
Stefan Wick
