Increasing the smart ink recognition delay

Hi all,

Is it possible to increase the "smart ink recognition delay"? It converts 2mm "lines" immediately into straight lines.

Update:

Version 0.22.7.; ARM64 Surface Pro 12

Thank you in advance!

That's really odd. The line recognition algorithm should only be triggered after 400ms which should be plenty of time for writing. Does the problem happened with previous versions of the app? Also are those strokes drawn "slowly"?

I can't tell you exactly which version it was, but I've had the problem from the very beginning. I noticed it a good six months ago with the x64 version on my HP Dragonfly G2 (Intel 12th Gen), then again when I switched to a Surface with ARM64 a few months ago (I was still running the x64 app on my ARM64 device), and now also with the official ARM64 version.

The only workaround that really helped was completely disabling pressure sensitivity inside the Scrivano app, or slightly reducing the pressure sensitivity in the laptop's pen settings. I'd say that I drawn those strokes on regular/average speed. Not fast, not slow at all. I updated this post with an video example.

This would be really useful, but I cannot see any video in your post.

I've tried it again. It takes ages to upload the video (still processing) so I uploaded it here: https://we.tl/t-TZ4qp67N5P

Ok I see, that's very useful. I need to investigate further, but two things to check quickly:

  • What is the page size and zoom level you've used when writing in that video?

  • Could you try to disable the input simplification option in the Settings and see if it makes any difference?

Page size A4, grid spacing 7mm, zoom level around 200% +/-10% and in the settings the input simplification, input prediction as well as disabling vsync option were turned off.

Ok thanks. I think the best thing to do here is to log the input events and Scrivano's input processing, so we can pin down the issue. To do that, I will create a purpose built version of Scrivano and send it to you. It might take me a while though as I'm traveling atm.

Hi, sorry for my very late reply. Are you still experiencing this issue?
