Basics

Activating Inker

When initally started or when inactive, Inker window is hidden and only the icon in the system tray is visible. When possible Inker activates by tapping with the pen on an editable field. If you need to activate it manually, just tap the icon on the system tray. Inker differentiates pen and mouse usage and becomes inactive when the mouse is moved over.

Inker responds to Win+I. Press and hold the Windows key, while tapping the I key. This will minimize inker to the system tray if it is currently shown, or activate Inker if it is currently minimized to the system tray. Most tablets have programmable buttons and assigning Win+I to one of your tablet's buttons will allow you to more easily activate and deactivate Inker.

Closing Inker

To close Inker window tap on the X button on the right bar. If you want to terminate Inker, choose Exit item from the context menu of the icon in the system tray.

Virtual keyboards

Inker provides several virtual keyboards - numeric, symbolic, functional, navigation and full keyboard. You can show or hide them using corresponding buttons on the toolbar.

Writing text

You write with the pen in the writing area and your handwriting is automatically recognized while you write and your writing gets replaced with recognized text. Inker deliberately does not replace the word you are currently writing to avoid confusing you. When you stop writing, Inker replaces and the final word.

Using the virtual keyboard

You can use the virtual keyboard to send keystrokes directly to applications or inline characters and symbols in the writing area.

This picture shows how you can inline the ® symbol in the writing area.

Making corrections

Editing words

In the zoom window you can write letters directly on green letter slots and your writing will get recognized when you move the pen out of the letter slot.

You can insert empty letter slots by tapping the left arrow or by making a left or right side gesture in the green rectangles as shown on the picture.

You can also use the following editing commands:

Alternate letters

Upper case

Several correction gestures are supported to easily correct individual letters. To perform a gesture, place the pen down near the center of the letter, then drag out of the letter in a straight line. For example, to perform an up gesture, press down in center of letter, then drag pen up and out fo the letter box before lifting the pen.

Up - Change letter to upper case.
Down - Change letter to lower case.
