When you use the SIP, your terminal anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the input panel. When
you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use your Dolphin terminal, the more
words it learns to anticipate.
Note: To change word suggestion options, such as the number of words suggested at one time, see Input Panel Options on
page 6-4.
Also, a small arrow appears to the right of the button . Tap this arrow to see more SIP options.
Tap Options to see the Input Panel Options (see page 6-4).
Using the Block Recognizer
With Block Recognizer you can input character strokes using the stylus. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then
Block Recognizer.
When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Block
Recognizer, tap the question mark next to the writing area when Block Recognizer is open .
Using the Letter Recognizer
With Letter Recognizer you can write letters using the stylus just as you would on paper. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel
button and then Letter Recognizer. When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific
instructions on using Letter Recognizer, with Letter Recognizer open, tap the question mark next to the writing area.
Selecting Text
To edit or format typed text, select it by dragging the stylus across the text. Then, use the commands on the pop-up menu to cut,
copy, and paste the selected text.
Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can
use your stylus to write directly on the screen as you would on paper. To write on the screen, tap the Pen button to switch to
writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
Note: Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the documentation for that program to find out how
to switch to writing mode.
To Select Writing
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears.
2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to
deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen.
You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then
tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
