@Uno2593 Here are a few steps to enable the feature of handwriting before it can be used:
- You’ll know you have it if you see an icon in your toolbar that looks like the following image.
- If you don’t, you’ll need to enable it first. Right-click the taskbar and click “Show touch keyboard button” to make it visible.
- Now that we have the touch keyboard active, we can activate handwriting. Click the touch keyboard button on your toolbar, and you should see this next image.
This is the touch keyboard. You can use this to enter letters via a touchscreen or drawing tablet, but we’re not here to do that! If you press the button at the bottom-right of this window, a popup will appear. This popup will contain an icon of a pen on a piece of paper. If you click this, you’ll enable handwriting mode.
To use this tool to write in software, first click on something you want to write in. Then, write what you want to type into the handwriting bar. Windows will then show you what you’ve written in the field you’ve selected. You can press the Delete arrow to erase what you’ve written and start again or the enter key to submit what you wrote, such as when using a search engine.
you can teach Windows about your style so it can better figure out what you’re writing.
Right-click the Start button and click Control Panel.
Then, click on “Language.” If you’re using Category view, you’ll have to click “Clock, Language and Region” first to get Language to appear.
Find and click “Options” next to your chosen system language, followed by “Personalize handwriting recognition.”
This will open up the handwriting recognition wizard.
Target specific recognition errors is good if Windows is having trouble recognizing specific words and letters in your style. You can tell Windows 10 how you write a specific word or letter or help it recognize characters with similar shapes (such as 2, Z, and 3).
Teach the recognizer your handwriting style is a better general option. Windows will give you sentences and numbers to write, and you write them as you normally would. Windows then uses this data to better define what your writing style is like.
