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.
