Starting Transcriber Program
Start Transcriber by double taping Transcriber icon in the Main windows. When Transcriber
is running, you will see the 'hand with a pen' icon in the task bar. When Microsoft
Transcriber is active, the 'hand with a pen' icon will have a dark background.
Selecting Text
When Microsoft Transcriber is active it interprets pen movement across the screen as
handwriting input. There are two methods of selecting text:
1. Double-tap the desired text. This will temporarily suspend Microsoft Transcriber
ink so you can perform actions such as dragging windows, icons, scrollbars, etc.
Note: some applications may open a context menu if you wait even longer.
For Selecting a phrase, triple-tap the desired text or phrase. You can select the
phrase.
2. Alternatively, you can make a selection (text, menu items, etc.) or drag (icon,
scrollbars, etc.) by drawing a line across the selection and holding the pen still
for a second at the end. The ink will disappear and the desired block becomes
highlighted, or the dragged object will move to the pen tip location.
Editing Text with Transcriber
Transcriber provides convenient gestures for text editing. They allow you to remove,
capitalize, and perform cut/copy/paste operations with just a stroke of the pen.
