Basic Operation
Converting Your Writing to Text
1. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before going to the next step.
2. To convert writing to text, tap Tools
→ Recognize or tap and hold the selected words and then tap
Recognize on the pop-up menu. Your writing is turned into text. 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.
1. Tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time).
2. On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears.
3. Tap the word you want to use or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.
Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:
 Write neatly.
 Write on the lines and draw descenders 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.
 For better recognition, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level to 300%.
 Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.
 Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters, such as accents, 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.
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.
Creating a Drawing
1. To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears.
2. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not
cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
Editing Your Drawing
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings,
deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.
2. Tap and hold the selected drawing and then tap an editing command (cut, copy or paste) on the pop-up
menu or tap the command on the Edit menu.
3. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected and then drag a selection handle.
