Transcriber
Transcriber allows you to write anywhere on the screen using the stylus
similar to the way that you would write on paper. Unlike Letter Recognizer
and Block Recognizer, you can write a sentence or more, and then pause to
let Transcriber change the written characters to typed characters.
1 Tap the arrow next to the input panel icon and tap Transcriber.
2 With your stylus, write anywhere on the screen.
When you pause, Transcriber converts your written characters to
typed characters. For specific instructions on using Transcriber, tap
the question mark in the lower right hand corner of the screen.
Editing Typed Text
To edit or format typed text, you must select it first:
1 Drag the stylus across the text that you want to select.
2 Tap and hold the selected text.
3 Tap the appropriate editing command in the pop-up menu.
You can also tap Edit at the bottom of the screen to select editing
commands.
Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts written text, such as the Notes program and
the Notes tab in some programs, you can use your stylus to write directly
on the screen. You can edit and format what you have written and convert
the information to text at a later time.
NOTE: Some programs that accept written text may not have the pen
icon. See the documentation for that program to find out how to
switch to writing mode.
To write on the screen, tap the pen icon to switch to writing mode. This
action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
