When you start a program or select a field that requires text or numbers, Input Panel
automatically becomes available. Input Panel provides access to the various input
methods available on your device, including Block Recognizer, Keyboard, Letter
Recognizer, Phone Pad, and Transcriber. By default, the Input Panel icon appears on
the menu bar to indicate which input method is currently selected. The Input Selector
