Writing recognition tips

• Write neatly.

• Write on the line 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 full-stops and

commas above the line.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300%

using the Tools menu.

• Do not spread the letters of a word, keep the letters relatively

close to each other so that the device can easily tell where the

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 after the word has been

recognised, the writing that you added will be included when you

try to recognise the writing again.

your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most

recent information.
