Writing Tips

• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Cross off the "t" and write
apostrophes below the top line so they are not confused with the word above. Write
periods and commas above the line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.
• Leave large gaps between words so the terminal can easily tell where words begin
and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and
some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after you
attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not included if you try to
recognize the writing again.
