# Handwriting Recognition
This section discusses the fundamentals of recognition as it pertains to digital ink in the WPF platform.
## Recognition Solutions
The following example shows how to recognize ink using the [Microsoft.Ink.InkCollector](https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-3.5/ms583683(v=vs.90)) class.
> [!NOTE]
> This sample requires that handwriting recognizers be installed on the system.
Create a new WPF application project in Visual Studio called **InkRecognition**. Replace the contents of the Window1.xaml file with the following XAML code. This code renders the application's user interface.
[!code-xaml[InkRecognition#1](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/InkRecognition/CSharp/Window1.xaml#1)]
Add a reference to the Microsoft Ink assembly, Microsoft.Ink.dll, which can be found in \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Ink. Replace the contents of the code behind file with the following code.
[!code-csharp[InkRecognition#2](~/samples/snippets/csharp/VS_Snippets_Wpf/InkRecognition/CSharp/Window1.xaml.cs#2)]
[!code-vb[InkRecognition#2](~/samples/snippets/visualbasic/VS_Snippets_Wpf/InkRecognition/VisualBasic/Window1.xaml.vb#2)]
