Handwriting Recognition
If you use the pen tool to write something in the Work Area you have the option of converting your handwriting into text. This tool is most useful when using the interactive whiteboard and not so much on your personal computer, though it does have some teaching applications when developing lessons on the computer. Select the handwritten word object then click the drop down menu. The first choices will be what typed word Smart Notebook recognizes. You can also change the language that Smart Notebook uses. This can be helpful when teaching other languages.

Shape Recognition
Like Handwriting Recognition, Shape Recognition recognizes handwritten shapes and creates a perfect shape to match. Shapes can also be recognized as letters and numbers After drawing a shape with a pen tool click on the drop-down menu and choose **Recognize Shape**.

Clicking the Text Object Icon opens a sub-menu with quick access to particular text colors, fonts and size Once you click the work area this menu appears giving you the usual choices for text editing. Clicking the **Mathematical Symbols** icon opens the Mathematical sub-menu

Check Spelling
Any typed text or text that has been through handwritten recognition can be submitted to a spelling check. To check the spelling of a word or a collection of words, choose the text object then chose the drop-down and then **Check Spelling...** After the click the **Check Spelling** window opens.
