We recommend you write the alphabet (A-Z) to check out which letters are recognised using
your own unique handwriting. Use capital letters rst and then lower case letters.
TIP! The larger you write on screen the software will turn into capital letters and visa versa
for small writing. Please practice this.
Step 4 For some letters the software may have difculty recognising using your own unique
handwriting, so you will have to add some letters to the memory database. This is
done by the following procedure. Letters are automatically kept in the “Learn” window.
Ensure the toolbar is set to mouse/pen icon. Access the learn window by pressing the
3rd from left icon on the toolbar. Your letter are kept here, overtype into the box below
named “Input text here” Select the “insert” key to record the letter style. As your
handwriting will vary slightly several versions of your letters may need to be stored in
the database.

Select “setup” for the toolbar and make any changes to your signature settings.
