Handwriting Recognition in Non-Aware Programs
When you annotate over a non-board-aware program, you have the option of injecting your
handwritten text into the underlying application in typed-text form. This lets you use board
annotations as program elements in programs that are not board-aware, effectively
incorporating changes into the file with a Pen Tray stylus.
To inject annotations in a non-aware program:
Just press and hold on the annotation for about three seconds. The following shortcut menu
appears:
Select the Insert “your annotation” here command and a converted text version of your
annotation will appear at the cursor-insertion point in the underlying application.
NOTE: Remember that to insert text, you need to use a prolonged press on the annotation
rather than a tap. If you just tap the board or press it briefly, the annotation will disappear.
We recommend you practice inserting text once or twice so you can easily introduce
annotations into the text of non-board-aware programs.
