Tips for getting good recognition
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top
line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and
commas above the line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that your device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Drawing on the screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference
between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be
edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing
1 Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke.
A drawing box appears.
2 Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing.
Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
TIP: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your
drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom level.

select the drawings you want.
