2.6 Using Transcriber
Transcriber is a handwriting recognition program that allows you to write in cursive or printed (block) letters 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 then tap Transcriber. The Transcriber introductory screen appears.
To write using Transcriber:
1. From the Transcriber Info screen, tap OK to display your program’s entry screen.
2. Use your stylus to write cursive or printed text. Transcriber will wait until you pause and then convert
your entry into typed text.
To enter punctuation and symbols:
Transcriber comes with an onscreen keyboard that provides an easy way to add punctuation or a special
symbol to existing text.
