Using the Transcriber
Transcriber is a handwriting recognition program that allows you to write in cursive, print, or
mixed styles. It reliably recognizes not only written text but also numbers and symbols. Make
sure to write legibly. See Help for more information on the Transcriber.
To use the Transcriber:
1. Start an application that accepts user input, such as Notes or Word Mobile.
2. Tap the Input Panel arrow, then tap Transcriber.
To write using Transcriber (using Notes):
1. Tap screen to position the cursor where you want the text to appear.
2. Use the stylus to write on the screen. The handwriting will be converted to text after you
lift the stylus from the screen.
To edit text:
1. Draw a line across the text you want to edit. After you lift the stylus from the screen, the
line will disappear and the selected text will be highlighted.
2. You can now rewrite the text or use the Transcriber gestures to edit your selected text.
See Help
for the Transcriber gestures.
