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. For more information about 

using Transcriber, see Help on your device.

Start a program that accepts user input, such as Word Mobile.

Tap the Input Selector arrow, and tap Transcriber. The Transcriber 

introductory screen appears.

In a program, position the cursor where you want text to appear.

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.

Transcriber comes with an on-screen keyboard that provides an easy way to 

add punctuation or a special symbol to existing text.
From a program, tap 

 on the Transcriber toolbar. The keyboard remains 

visible until you tap the button again.

 

To reposition the keyboard, tap and hold the title bar, then drag to the 

desired location.

 

When no text is selected, you can also open the keyboard by doing the   

gesture. For more information about using Transcriber gestures, see Help 

on your device.

In a program, draw a line across the text you want to edit.

After you lift the stylus from the screen, the line will disappear and the 

selected text will be highlighted.

Do either of the following:

Rewrite the text.
