We present a system that parses handwritten digital ink collected on-line by separating text strokes from graphics strokes. It utilizes not just the characteristics of the strokes, but also the information provided by the gaps between the strokes, as well as the temporal characteristics of the stroke sequence. It is built using machine learning techniques that infer the internal parameters of the system from real digital ink, collected using a Tablet PC.
