Notes

The Notes Functions

Notes is used primarily for scanning text and storing it on the Pen for future transfer to the PC using the WizCom Desktop.

Text can also be inserted manually using the Virtual Keyboard, and files can be transferred using infrared communications between the Pen and other IrOBEX compatible devices.

Notes can also be used to define or translate text from within a file using the dictionaries installed on the Pen.

For a step-by-step guide to using Notes see the Notes Tutorial on page 17.

 

Transferring Files

Files can be transferred from the Pen in two ways:

1.     Transferring files using the WizCom Desktop

Files are saved on the Pen and then transferred to the PC using the WizCom Desktop. For information on how to manage files using the WizCom Desktop, see Managing Notes Files using the WizCom Desktop on page 36.

2.     Beaming Files Using Infrared Communications Files can be beamed and received using infrared communications. For instructions see Beaming on page 14.
