1. A method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors of a computing device, first user input identifying a text box displayed on a display of the computing device;
based on the received first user input, generating, by the one or more processors, a handwriting field on the display without visual impact on the display;
receiving, by the one or more processors, second user input within the handwriting field;
converting, by the one or more processors, the second user input into typed text;
as the second user input is being converted to the typed text, displaying handwriting with a particular visual appearance of an aspect of the handwriting on a display based on a proximity of the second user input to an edge of the handwriting field or the display; and
displaying, by the one or more processors, the typed text in the text box.
