2.6 Using Transcriber
Transcriber is a handwriting recognition program that allows you to write
in cursive, print, or a combination of both. Transcriber works transparently
in the background of programs, recognizing words with its integrated
dictionary. When Transcriber is turned on, it interprets stylus movement
anywhere on the screen as handwriting input. For more information about
using Transcriber, see Help on your device.
To start Transcriber
1. Start a program that accepts user input, such as Word Mobile.
2. Tap the Input Selector arrow, and tap Transcriber. The Transcriber
introductory screen appears.
To write using Transcriber
1. In a program, position the cursor where you want text to appear.
2. Use the stylus to write anywhere on the screen. The handwriting will
be converted to text shortly after you lift the stylus from the screen.
To enter punctuation and symbols
Transcriber comes with an on-screen keyboard that provides an easy way to
add punctuation or a special symbol to existing text.
From a program, tap on the Transcriber toolbar. The keyboard remains
visible until you tap the button again.

gesture. For more information about using Transcriber gestures, see Help
