Win *Note The Handwriting Recognition window is driven by CalliGrapher®, a software engine created by ParaGraph, a business unit of Vadem. Tip Your writing is more readily recognized if you write neatly. Also, write large: Larger handwriting is recognized more easily than small, cramped handwriting. Handwriting Recognition (Windows Operating Systems Only) If you’d rather not type, just press on the SMART Keyboard’s Write button, and the Handwriting Recognition window* will appear. Next, pick up a stylus (or just use your finger), and write in the Writing Recognition area. You’ll find that your handwritten or printed letters, numbers and punctuation are quickly and automatically converted into typed text in the Editing Area. A number of editing tools are available to let you alter the converted text before you commit it to the active application. TIPS • If the Handwriting Recognition window seems too large, you can select a smaller-sized version. Just press on the Typewriter icon on the left edge of the title bar and select Small View. • If you’re writing mainly numbers, we suggest you first press the NUM key in the Edit toolbar (not the Num Lock key on a connected, physical keyboard) for more accurate number recognition. You must press the NUM key again when you return to writing letters. To use handwriting recognition: 1 Press the SMART Keyboard button in the Pen Tray. or Press the SMART Board icon in the system tray and select Keyboard. The SMART Keyboard will appear. 2 Press the Write button in the upper row of buttons on the keyboard. The Handwriting Recognition window will appear.

Editing Converted Handwriting Sometimes, when SMART Board software attempts to convert your handwriting, you may see the occasional question mark appearing where you expect to see a letter, number or punctuation mark. This occurs if the program is unsure of precisely what your handwriting indicates. Other anomalies may also result from the conversion process. For example, extra or insufficient spaces or an erroneous conversion may appear in the Editing Area. In any of these instances, you’ll want to edit the converted text before committing it into the active application. Or, you may simply want to change the text after you’ve written it, adding or removing extra words. These tasks are easily accomplished in the Editing Area. You can position the cursor where you want to make a change, replace any highlighted item with a handwritten substitute, change the text case, and add extra or delete excess text or spaces. The Edit toolbar, located on the right side of the Handwriting Recognition window, helps you perform these and many other tasks.
