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.
Note 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 tap Transcriber.

To write using Transcriber
1. From a program, position the cursor where you want text to
appear.
2. Use the stylus to write anywhere on the screen.
The handwriting will be converted to text shortly after you lift the
stylus from the screen.
To enter punctuation and symbols
