T-Mobile MDA III User Manual 27

Converting writing to text:

1.On the writing note, tap Tools and Recognize from the menu bar.

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 will be left as writing. And if the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing.

Tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time), then tap Alternates from the pop-up menu. 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.

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 bottom line.

3.For better recognition, use a zoom level of 150% or higher by tapping Tools > Zoom to change the zoom level.

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.

If you edit or add to a word after attempting to recognize it, the new writing will not be included if you attempt to recog- nize it again.
