HOW TO USE

The PenReader is a letter-by-letter on-line handwriting recognition system.

You can write letters closely enough. You can write letters that even overlap each other. The only limitation is that you should take pen away from the screen after each letter. This is essential condition. Current version of PenReader does not "understand" connected letters like at the slide.

The PenReader recognizes your handwriting continuously or after specified time-out. If you write text continuously, a word recognized by the PenReader is removed from the screen when you write first letter of next word. You should use special "space" macro in this mode to separate adjacent words, pointing to the system that it should remove the trajectory and start typing recognized text. It is represented by horizontal stroke that is drawn from left to right (point at the picture shows where you should begin writing). Continuous operating mode is activated and deactivated by special check box in the Options dialog. Continuous operating mode is switched off by default.

If you use text input after specified time-out, "space" macro is treated as space symbol only. The system remove trajectory and start typing recognized text after the time-out expiration. Time-out is specified by Recognition delay option. This operating mode is active by default.

The PenReader has some additional operating modes in addition to main ones. Context "Digits" allows you to write digits. You can activate this context drawing following macro. When "Digits" context is active, you can see appropriate icon in the taskbar.

Context "Calculator" allows you to make calculations by writing them on the screen. Draw special macro to activate this context. When "Calculator" context is active, you can see icon in the taskbar. To deactivate any additional operating mode ("Digits" or "Calculator" context) and to switch to basic or additional language context write appropriate macro once more or just tap the context icon in the taskbar.

In text operating modes you can write not only letters, but also brackets, punctuation marks and special symbols like @, $, #, % and so on.

Using special macros, you can enter uppercase letters in lowercase text or even switch to uppercase mode, like using Shift and CapsLock in the PC keyboard.
