If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping ‘Recognize’ on the
Tools
ToolsTools
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.
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.
Tips for getting good recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the ‘t’ and apos-
trophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write peri-
ods 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.
