Optimize handwriting recognition for Transcriber
If Transcriber does not recognize your handwriting as accurately or quickly as you'd like, there are some things you can do to optimize handwriting recognition.
• Select the Writing Direction picture that best matches the slant of your handwriting. For information, see Set Transcriber startup options.
• Use Letter Shapes to eliminate letter shapes that you do not use or to learn methods of writing characters that will make them easier for Transcriber to
recognize. For information, see Match letter shapes to handwriting.
• Try writing in another format. If you have been printing, try writing cursive, or if you have been writing in both cursive and print, try printing alone.
• Adjust the speed at which Transcriber returns text after you write. For information, see Set Transcriber text entry options.
• Add a user dictionary that contains special terms you may be using, such as medical or legal terms. For information, see Create a dictionary for
Transcriber.
Verify that you are using your Letter Shapes user profile. For information, see Save a Letter Shapes user profile.
Note
The next time you write the shorthand text, the appropriate program will open.
