Write thecross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are notconfused with the word above. Write periods and commas above theline.• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% usingthe Tools menu.• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between wordsso that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters suchas 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 willnot be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
