General Features
General Features
Overview
WritePad Professional Edition is a combination of WritePad Affairs, WritePad Notes,
and WritePad Events. It also features Voice Notes. The data can be organized in
multiple folders, which can be sorted by type, name, and color.
Affairs folders assist users with organizing daily tasks,
jobs, and contracts. Users can create, edit, and view
items in landscape or portrait mode; sort items by
due date, subject, priority, color, category, and
status; and filter by text found in the subject.
Events folders enable users to create, edit, and view
events in landscape and portrait mode; sort events by
date, subject, priority, color, and category; filter
events by characters or words found in the subject.
While creating events a user can obtain a current
location using iPhone navigation feature, insert a new
or an existing photograph, and associate contact with
the event.
Notes folders allow creating, editing, and viewing
notes on an iPhone. Notes can be edited in ether
landscape or portrait mode and sorted by subject,
color, and category and filter notes by characters or
words found in the subject.
Voice Notes folders can be used to record and play
back voice notes and memos. Each voice note can
have name, color and importance properties and can
be organized by name, color, priority, creation, and
modification dates.
WritePad Pro uses the WritePad text editor developed specifically for iPhone and
featuring handwriting recognition input for cursive, print, and mixed handwriting
styles, in addition to an iPhone soft keyboard. Advanced features of WritePad's
handwriting recognition engine include an intelligent handwriting recognition engine
which improves recognition quality over time, and an auto-corrector which
automatically fixes common spelling and recognition errors, a spell checker, and a
shorthand feature which allows users to perform editing commands, insert current

General Features
date and time and repetitive text by writing a short name and drawing a circle around
it, and simple gestures to perform standard editing commands.
In the beginning the recognition quality may depend on your style and how
comfortable you feel writing on the iPhone screen with your finger; however the more
you use it, the better it will become as the software will adapt to your patterns. In
addition, you can use simple finger gestures to select text, cut, copy, paste, insert
special characters such as space and return, invoke the spell checker for the selected
word, correct recognized text, and more (see the Using Gestures section below for a
complete list of gestures).

To enter text, simply write anywhere on the screen: cursive, print, and mixed
handwriting styles are supported. You can write one or more words per
recognition session, but always complete the entire word in each session. When
you stop writing in the Recognition Delay time, handwriting will be converted
to the digital text, which will appear at the current cursor location. Letters of
the same word can be written on top of each other. This makes is easier to
write long words which do not fit on the screen. For this to work, the
Separate Letters option must be OFF.

To delete a character before the current cursor location or at the last stroke
while writing, use a long left gesture (the Backspace gesture).
•
To delete all handwritten text before recognition in case of an error, use a
horizontal left-right gesture (the Backspace gesture).
•
To spell check selected words, use a check mark gesture (the Spell Check

Handwriting Recognition
Alternatives Window
While in Handwriting Mode, for all windows that requires text entry, the Recognition
Alternatives window automatically appears at the end of the recognition session,
before the results are sent to the editor if the Show Alternatives option is ON.
If the Show Alternatives option is OFF, you can bring up the Alternatives window by
using the Spell Check gesture
or the Spell Check button in the toolbar
after recognition results appear in the editor.
49
The window displays multiple alternatives returned by the recognizer and/or spell
checker for each recognized word. It also contains
and
buttons. Use this window
if a wrong result returned by the engine for quick corrections; it is very likely that the
correct word can be found on the alternatives list. Each word can contain up to 6
alternatives plus a blank word represented by <-->. To change the recognition result,
select the desired alternatives for each word and touch or anywhere outside the
Alternatives window.
When you use the Spell Check gesture with a single word selected, the Alternatives
window will appear populated by words suggested by the spell checker.
If the selected word is not found in the dictionary you will have an option to add it to
the user dictionary by touching the
button on the right side of the word. If the
selected word is already in the dictionary it will not appear on the spell checker list.
Punctuation keyboard
When you need to insert a stand-alone punctuation character such as period, comma,
backslash, etc. you can use the Punctuation Keyboard. To bring up the keyboard, use
the Keyboard gesture when nothing is selected in the editor.
contains 32 punctuation characters.
50
The keyboard
This make it useful for entering a period or colon because you cannot begin the
recognition session with a dot (a single touch). The keyboard automatically disappears
after you touch the desired key and the selected character is inserted at the current
cursor location. To dismiss the keyboard without entering any characters, touch
anywhere outside the keyboard window.
Recognition Toolbar Buttons
Spell Check - if a single word is selected shows alternatives, otherwise shows
the Last Recognition Results window. Also applicable in the keyboard mode.
Recognition mode - toggles recognition mode: mixed, capital
letters only, numbers only (including punctuation) and Internet (no spaces). Also
applicable in the keyboard mode.
Punctuation Keyboard - brings up the Punctuation Keyboard (available only in
the Recognition mode).
Send Mail - sends the editor content via email.
Options - opens the Options window. See the Options section, below.
Edit Menu
The Edit Menu can be invoked by touching and holding your finger on the screen until
the magnifying glass appears , then removing your finger from the screen. This
works in either Handwriting or Keyboard modes.
NOTE: Only the applicable commands will appear on the Edit Menu; i.e. if you have
already selected some text, the Select command will not appear.
Cut - cuts the selected text into the clipboard
Copy - copies the selected text into the clipboard
51
Select - The editor will enter the selection mode allowing you to touch the screen until the
magnifying glass appears, then drag your finger over the desired location to select text.

Undo/Redo Commands
52
To undo or redo the last editing actions (up to 20 levels), shake the device to bring up
the applicable commands. This works in either Handwriting or Keyboard modes.
NOTE: In recognition mode you can also use gestures for the Undo command. See
the Using Gestures section, below.
Using Gestures
Gestures can be used for common operations such as return, space, and backspace.
The gesture's action is always applied to either the current cursor location or to the
selected text. All the gestures, except for the Backspace and Cut gestures, work only
when nothing is currently written on the screen. If you are in the middle of writing a
word or a phrase and make a mistake you can use the Backspace gesture to delete the
last stroke or the Cut gesture to delete all written strokes before the recognition
occurs.
Return: similar to pressing enter on the keyboard.
Space: inserts space.
Backspace: removes a character to the left of cursor or the
selected text. To perform the gesture, draw a horizontal line from
right to left. This gesture can also be used to delete the last stoke
while writing. To avoid interference with handwriting this gesture
has minimum length of 150 or more pixels. The minimum gesture
length can be changed using the Options tab.
53
Delete: removes a character to the right of the cursor or the
selected text. To perform the gesture, draw a horizontal line from
left to right. To avoid interference with handwriting this gesture
has minimum length of 150 or more pixels. The minimum gesture
length can be changed using the Options tab.
Spell Check: If a single word is selected this gesture opens the
spell checker window for the selected word with possible
alternatives, otherwise brings up the Last Recognition Alternatives
window containing multiple suggestions for each written word. This
operation is particularly useful to correct wrong recognition
results. If there are no recognition results in memory, this gesture
has no effect. Same as the Spell Check button.
Keyboard: Opens the Punctuation Keyboard containing hard-towrite punctuation characters. Same as the Keyboard button.
Scroll Up: scrolls the content of the edit window up. To avoid
interference with handwriting this gesture has a minimum length of
150 or more pixels. The minimum gesture length can be changed
using the Options tab.
Scroll Down: scrolls the content of the edit window down. To avoid
interference with handwriting this gesture has a minimum length of
150 or more pixels. The minimum gesture length can be changed
using Options tab.
Undo: removes the last recognition results from the editor content.
Same as the Undo button.
54
Copy: copies the selected block of text to the clipboard. Same as
the Copy button.
Cut: copies the selected block of text to the clipboard and deletes
it. This gesture can also be used to delete all strokes while writing
and cancel the current recognition session. Same as the Cut
button.
Paste: inserts the clipboard contents at the current cursor location.
Same as the Paste button.
Select All: selects all text in the editor. Combine this gesture with
the Backspace gesture to quickly delete the entire WritePad
content.
Using Shorthand
The Shorthand feature offers quick and simple way to insert often-repeated text and
performs standard editing commands by writing the Shorthand name and drawing a
circle around it. You can add new or modify Shorthands using the Shorthand Editor,

handwriting patterns to attempt to improve
quality of recognition. It is recommended to use
the Recognition Alternatives and Spell Checker
windows to correct wrong results in the
beginning to accelerate the learning process.
Auto Corrector - Use this option to enable the

every sentence will be capitalized.
Separate Letters - Use this option if you print
instead of using cursive and do not connect
individual letters. If this option is ON,
connected letters will not be recognized
properly.
Single Word Only - Use this option if you always
write only one word per each recognition
session. If this option is ON automatic word
segmentation is disabled.
64
Only Known Words - If ON, the
recognition output will be limited
only to the dictionary words. This
improves quality of the recognition

the desired ink color.
Recognition Delay - This option allows you to
adjust the delay after the touch-up event
ends before recognition starts.
66
Font Size - This option allows you to choose
the desired font size for the WritePad editor.
You may find that using larger fonts makes
text selection and cursor positioning easier.
Scroll Gestures - This option allows you to
choose the minimum length for the up and
down scroll, delete, and backspace
gestures. The minimum length is required so
these strokes do not interfere with your
handwriting (especially if you draw long
vertical lines for your t's and i's).
Touch and Hold Delay - Touch and hold is
used to enter the selection mode in Edit
mode. This option allows you to choose the
minimum touch and hold delay before
entering the selection mode.
User Dictionary
The WritePad handwriting recognition engine requires a vocabulary for a higher
recognition quality. Forcing the engine to recognize only words in the included
dictionary (this version includes a 100,000+ words US English dictionary) improves
overall recognition quality, but makes it impossible to write words that are not in
the dictionary. Even if you do not enable the Only Known Words option, it is
recommended that you add any new words to the user dictionary that you may be
using often, such as rare last and first names, company and product names,
abbreviations, etc.
