Tablet PC Input Panel

To open the Tablet PC Input Panel, tap on the Tablet PC Input Panel icon located next to the Start button. From this window, you can enter hand- written data or input data by soft keyboard or by voice.

The illustration below shows the Tablet PC Input Panel with the Text Preview window open. You can select this option from the Tools drop-down menu.

NOTE: For more information about the Tablet PC Input Panel, see Chapter 4 of this User Guide.

IMPORTANT: To view the text you write or type in the Tablet PC Input Panel, you must open another application, such as Notepad, Wordpad, or install Microsoft Office (ordered separately; this works with XP Pack for Tablet PC-- called Pen Extensions). Otherwise, your text will be transferred to the Text Preview area (if it is open), but not to another application since none is available to accept the input. If the text preview window isn’t open, your text will disappear from the display after a few seconds.

NOTE: For security and accuracy when entering passwords or other confidential text, we recommend that you use the soft keyboard on the Tablet PC Input Panel instead of the writing pad.

Speech and Voice

Recognition

Both Tablet PCs are designed to accept and interpret the human voice, for dictation as well as for keyboard-equivalent voice commands.

NOTE: For information about setting up speech recognition through the Tablet PC Input Panel, see Chapter 4 of this User Guide.
