To enter punctuation and symbols
Transcriber comes with an on-screen keyboard that provides an easy way to add punctuation
or a special symbol to existing text.
• From a program, tap on the Transcriber toolbar.
The keyboard remains visible until you tap the button again.
Tips • To reposition the keyboard, tap and hold the title bar, then drag to the desired location.
• When no text is selected, you can also open the keyboard by doing the
gesture.
To edit text
1. In a program, draw a line across the text you want to edit.
2. After you lift the stylus from the screen, the line will disappear and the selected text will
be highlighted.
