TIP tips

Open a program for your input (for example, a word processing program or a Web form) before using the writing pad or soft keyboard.

To adjust writing pad and keyboard settings, tap or click the Tools and

Options icon , then tap or click Options.

For security and accuracy when entering masked text (such as passwords), use your tablet PC Input Panel’s soft keyboard instead of the writing pad.

Using speech recognition

The tablet PC is designed to accept and interpret the human voice, both for dictation (speech recognition) and for keyboard-equivalent voice commands.

Set up speech recognition through your tablet PC Input Panel’s Tools menu.

Learn more about voice commands in the Accessibility section of the Help and Support Center.

Use the built-in microphone or an external microphone.

To modify the speech recognition function, see “Adjusting the Tablet PC Input Panel Settings” on page 107.
