Or, tap the word you want to use.
If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of
alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the
incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alter-
nates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you
want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original
writing.
Tips for achieving better word recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the
cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not
confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the
line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using
the Tools menu.
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words
so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such
as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
