Floating Tools 4 Win NOTE: The Windows 95, 98 and Windows NT 4.0 operating systems are not capable of using Windows Driver Mode. If you have the Windows 95, 98 or Windows NT 4.0 operating system, you cannot use SMART Video Player to view the output from a video hardware device. SMART Video Player does not support internal DVD drives or live video streamed over the Internet. SMART Keyboard The SMART Board interactive whiteboard (used with a projector) is a great tool for presenting information to others, allowing you to control your applications by touching and writing over top of a program to make or emphasize a point. However, many occasions arise when a keyboard is a necessary tool. For example, you may want to rename a file and type a new name into the Save As dialog box. The SMART Keyboard is a quick and easy way to fill in the dialog box right at the board surface, without having to move to an attached keyboard. The on-screen keyboard also offers a very easy way to log on without resorting to an actual keyboard. SMART On-Screen Keyboard (Windows Operating System) If you’re a Windows operating system user who prefers not to type, you can press the Write button on the keyboard, and then write in the Handwriting Recognition window with your finger or a stylus. You don’t need to alter your handwriting so the software can recognize it or perform any handwriting-training procedures. The SMART Keyboard will recognize and convert your handwriting into typewritten text that you can further edit before inserting the text directly into an active application or dialog box. Floating Tools The Floating Tools are a versatile palette of buttons that float over any open application on your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and offer you a wide variety of functionality. In addition to providing software counterparts to the Pen Tray tools (a virtual stylus, highlighter and eraser), the Floating Tools also include tools that change a left-mouse click to a rightmouse click (Windows operating system only), create geometric shapes, provide a large pointer for presentation purposes and restore cleared annotations.
