When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Letter Recognizer, open Letter Recognizer and then tap the question mark next to the writing area.

Transcriber

With Transcriber you can write anywhere on the screen using the stylus just as you would on paper. Unlike Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer, you can write a sentence or more of information; then, you pause and let Transcriber change the written characters to typed characters.

1.Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button, and then tap Transcriber.

2.Write anywhere on the screen.

For specific instructions on using Transcriber, open Transcriber and then tap the question mark in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing—such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks—you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information to text later.

To write on the screen

•Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
