1. A handwriting recognition system, comprising: handwriting transducer means, responsive to a handwriting input from a user, for outputting corresponding time ordered stroke information; first means, having an input coupled to an output of said handwriting transducer means, for determining a first list comprised of at least one probable character that the corresponding time ordered stroke information is intended to represent; means, having an input coupled to said output of said handwriting transducer means, for converting the corresponding time ordered stroke information to static stroke information; second means, having an input coupled to an output of said converting means, for determining at least one second list comprised of at least one probable character that the static stroke information represents; and means, having a first input coupled to an output of said first determining means and a second input coupled to an output of said second determining means, for merging said first list and said at least one second list to provide a third list comprised of at least one most probable character that the corresponding time ordered stroke information is intended to represent.
