Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Handwriting Recognition API (#591)

Of course, if the recogniser recognises strokes and stores characters in the order they are written, then that may provide a solution, because someone writing "Score: 82" in Hebrew will write the 8 before the 2 (leaving a gap for it to fit).  If the conversion of strokes to characters takes place after an input is completed, however, then mixed direction text will require parsing for direction changes.

Note, however, that in the former case, where strokes are converted on-the-fly, it's not straightforward either, since Arabic and Hebrew graphemes tend to be only half-written during the initial pass, and those graphemes are completed after the word is completed (eg. the top bar for scripts such as Devanagari).
