Using The Smart Keyboard; Using The Smart On-Screen Keyboard To Type Text - Smart Technologies SMART BOARD User Manual

Using the SMART Keyboard

The SMART Board is a great tool for presenting projected information, allowing you to both
control your applications by touch and write over top of those applications with a Pen Tray
stylus.
However, many occasions can arise when a keyboard is a necessary tool. For example, if
you make changes to a file during a presentation and want to rename it, you'll need to type a
new name in the Save As dialog. The SMART On-Screen Keyboard is a quick and easy way
to type into a dialog (or into any application) right at the SMART Board surface, without
moving to a physical keyboard.
SMART Keyboard (Macintosh)
If you're a Windows user who prefers not to type, you can simply write in the On-Screen
Keyboard's Handwriting Recognition window with a Pen Tray stylus (or Floating Tools pen).
Win
The On-Screen Keyboard will recognize and convert your normal handwriting into typewritten
text that can either be further edited before it's committed to the application or input directly
into an active application or dialog. You don't need to alter your handwriting to make it
recognizable to the software or perform any special handwriting-training procedures.
NOTE: Windows users can also convert handwriting directly in Notebook without using the
SMART Keyboard: Just select the Notebook handwritten object, press on the letter A that
appears in the upper-right corner of the selection rectangle, and your writing will be
automatically converted to typed text.

Using the SMART On-Screen Keyboard to Type Text

The On-Screen Keyboard is a virtual keyboard that eliminates the need for a separately
attached keyboard. Simply activate the On-Screen Keyboard and press the virtual keys right
on the SMART Board itself to input text into dialogs or any active application.
