  1. Ken Hinckley, Shengdong Zhao, Raman Sarin, Patrick Baudisch, Edward Cutrell, Michael Shilman & Desney Tan InkSeine: in situ search for active note taking r oronto

  2. In situ search for digital ink • InkSeine : • Ink + • Seine • -n: a fishing net • -v: to fish with a seine • = insanely cool ink search! • InkSeine lets the user fish for useful information directly from ink notes.

  3. Active note taking • XLibris—pen-based system for active reading(reading + critical thinking + learning) • InkSeine combines pen-based note taking with searching, linking, collecting & sensemaking: ActiveNote Taking • Sketch designs • Reflect on a topic • Capture & extend creative ideas

  4. Core interaction pattern: Ink-Search-Gather • Ink – excels at capturing user’s thoughts & ideas with minimum distraction from formatting issues Ink Search Gather

  5. Ink-Search-Gather interaction pattern • Search – digging through the file system on a tablet is really a pain • Active note taking benefits from low overhead access to supporting materials & related docs • Focus on personal search, but support Web as well Ink Search Gather

  6. Ink-Search-Gather interaction pattern • Gather – Make it easy to use what you find by pulling content directly into unstructured notes • Thumbnail hyperlinks to documents • Clippings from documents • Queries that can be revisited later Ink Search Gather

  7. Ink-Search-Gather interaction pattern • InkSeine unifies these three elements in a fluid user experience that is integrated directly with inking Ink Search Gather

  8. In situ search • Leverage preexisting ink to initiate search • No context switch to “search app” – stay in the flow • No tedious transcription of text to a “search box” • Queries as first class objects, commingled with ink notes • Flag some ink for search for later • Visible and salient search history as part of notes • Queries can be copied, pasted, moved, etc. • Interleave inking, searching & gathering • No barrier between inking / searching – note ideas while searching, side-by-side searching, span app boundaries for content gathering • Tightly couple queries with application content • Queries naturally persist in originating context • Easy re-visitation of prior queries • Results of queries become new content

  9. Rich tradeoffs in cost structure of sensemaking • Continuum of time cost – can defer at any point: • 1 second: Capture thought “I should search on this” • 5 seconds: Trigger search & see initial results list • 10-20 s: Open a doc from result list or drag result into notes • 20 s-2 minutes: • Scroll through list and inspect details of results • Apply filters, revise query • Grab a snapshot from a short document • Correct occasional ink reco errors – Tablet’s reco is amazingly good! • Longer: sufficient depth for common info needs; not mired by last 10% of complex queries that require full featured search tools • Inspect result documents to see if they meet information needs • Sideways searches based on Title, Date, or Author of a result
