Block Recognizer

Block Recognizer allows you to use character strokes that are similar to those

used on other handheld devices.

NOTE: Block Recognizer is included with the English, French, German, Italian,

and Spanish operating systems. Other versions do not support Block

Recognizer.

Tap the arrow next to the input panel icon and tap

Block Recognizer

Using your stylus, write the appropriate character stroke in the box that

appears at the bottom of the screen.

The character strokes are converted to typed text on the screen. For

specific instructions on using Block Recognizer, tap the question mark

next to the writing area.

NOTE: Tap Demo to learn the character strokes that the device can recognize.

Transcriber

Transcriber allows you to write anywhere on the screen using the stylus

similar to the way that you would write on paper. Unlike Letter Recognizer

and Block Recognizer, you can write a sentence or more, and then pause to

let Transcriber change the written characters to typed characters.

NOTE: Transcriber is included with the English, French, and German operating

systems. Other versions do not support Transcriber.

Tap the arrow next to the input panel icon and tap

Transcriber

With your stylus, write anywhere on the screen.

When you pause, Transcriber converts your written characters to typed

characters. For specific instructions on using Transcriber, tap the

question mark in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

Editing Typed Text

To edit or format typed text, you must select it first:

Drag the stylus across the text that you want to select.

Tap and hold the selected text.

Tap the appropriate editing command in the pop-up menu.
