There are three different options in the main menu.
Single-word writing
It is allowed to handwrite one word only at one time.You can not handwrite the next word
until the recognition result of current word has been nished.
Two-sides writing
After the rst stroke is written, one vertical line would be displayed on the center of

When a new stroke is crossed to the other side, it means that the last word is nished and the
next word start to write.

ters at most is allowed. It permits left-to-right,or top-to-bottom free writing order. Remem-
ber to keep adequate distance between two contiguous words when you write. It affects the

nized words, for example when you wrote ’, and it recognized to ’, you can select

Chapter 3 New Pen/Mouse Mode 3-5
3.3.2 How to Write
It would be better to keep strokes of the same word closed, and do not overlap between
words when you write. You need to nish writing every strokes of one word.
Right example
Write three words of 『明日月』.
Wrong example 1
Overlap between two words. All the
strokes may be recognized as one word.
Wrong example 2
The two parts of one word are written far
away from each other. All the strokes may
be segmented into two words.
Auto Phrase Correction
The system automatically proofreads on your writing content to improve the recognition
rate. For example, when you continuously write『天下太平』 four characters, but the char-
acter『天』is incorrectly written as『夫』, so they become『夫下太平』. Penpower uses
its internal phrase dictionary to correctly recognize your intended result『天下太平』.

3.3.3 How to Quickly Correct, Enter Phrases and Symbols
When writing, candidate words based on the previous input will be displayed on the [New

candidate words forward by one and also correct the results. Alternatively, select a candidate
word on the [New Pen mode] toolbar to correct it. Click the [Symbol table] button with
the mouse to open the [Symbol table] and enter the corresponding punctuation symbol; the
right function button of the Presenter Pen provides the same symbols.
You can also press the second function button on right side of the Presenter Pen to switch
to the [Penpower Mouse mode]. In the [Penpower Mouse mode], you can select the candi-
date word, post-related word, phrase or symbol.
For example: In [New Pen mode], the input『蒙恬科技』had the character『技』mis-
read as『投』. You can press the second function button on right side of the Presenter Pen
to switch to the [Penpower Mouse mode] then choose from the candidate words eld『技』
