1. A display apparatus, comprising circuitry configured to:
receive input of a hand drafted input;
convert the hand drafted input into a shape, wherein the shape converted from the hand drafted input includes one or more shape conversion candidates;

determine whether the shape is an object selecting shape that is preset to be available for selecting an object displayed in the object selecting shape on the display,
wherein, in a case that the shape is determined to be the object selecting shape, the circuitry displays, on the display, a display component to be operated for receiving selection of the object,
wherein, in a case that the display component is operated, the circuitry causes the object to be a selected state,
wherein, in a case that one of the one or more conversion candidates is selected, the circuitry displays, on the display, the shape, and
wherein, in a case that the one of the one or more conversion candidates is the object selecting shape, the circuitry is configured to
start a selection mode for selecting the object with the object selecting shape,
