USER'S GUIDE
The proprietary handprinting technology from I.R.I.S. is based on more than 1
million writing samples. All natural writing styles are supported: American and
European ones and sevens are recognized with equal comfort. It requires no
training phase or imposed style to recognize somebody’s handwriting.
MIXING HANDPRINTING AND OTHER DATA
A direct consequence is that you have to switch from handprinting to the other
reading modes to encode documents where more than one type of information is
being read.
(However, you can read handprinted data and bar codes and other data at the
same time! The parameter "Reading Mode" in the IRISPen application window
determines the primary reading mode, the option "Bar Codes" in the IRISPen
application window determines whether you read bar codes at the same time.)
Switching from one mode to another is very easy. You can obviously do it by
modifying the reading mode in the IRISPen application window. There are sev-
eral ways of accessing the IRISPen application window quickly: right- or double-
clicking the IRISPen status window or right-clicking the IRISPen control on the
Windows taskbar and selecting the command "Open". You can restore the IRISPen
application directly from within your target application by defining a “restore”
hotkey with the command "Hotkeys" under the "Settings" menu.
The same command allows to define a hotkey to switch from one reading
mode to another directly from within your target application.
