Siemens SX56 Drawing on the Screen, To convert writing to text, Tips for getting good recognition

3.10.3 To convert writing to text:

1. Tap Tools and then Recognize.

2. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

3. If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

3.10.4 Tips for getting good recognition:

1. Write neatly.

2. Write on the lines and draw descanters 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.

3. For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

4. 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.

5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

6. 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.

3.11 Drawing on the Screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
