Tips for Getting Good 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.

Drawing on the Screen

Drawing on the screen is similar to writing on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited.

To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
