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.
