hello everyone Michael here with the daily note 2 youtube channel and welcome to
another episode today is a viewer requested video on an in-depth look and
handwriting recognition and handwriting gestures for the samsung galaxy note 2
and the S pen
let's go into settings for samsung keyboard you could do that by holding down
what's known as the customized hitting settings if it's not there
already
let's scroll down and let's select handwriting
let's look at a few things there are Input languages here
you could see there are many types and you could tap to download
all of these
and you could see there are two different recognition types
we'll start-up with the Stroke recognition because that
is what's there by default
and i didn't really touch these the recognition type
I'm glad with the color and the thickness
let's go to Gesture guide and this is the gestures that people want to see
because
these gestures actually don't work
for stroke recognition
but they do work for complete recognition
I just want to quickly show you that handwriting recognition on the samsung
galaxy note 2
is nothing short of spectacular
and it can be anywhere used to type
if you paid attention what was going on up here you should have seen
that
they're using a mixture of character recognition, stroke detection and
auto correct
and it makes it very accurate
with that said it is as good as the legibility of your handwriting so if you
have problems reading what you wrote chances are the note 2 will have
problems
I also want to mention that i have two different S pens here one from the
galaxy note 2 and one is the larger S pen from galaxy note
10.1
the note 10.1's S pen has a rubberized tip
it just creates a little bit more friction on the glass
so if you have
that handwriting just slows you down a little bit and it gives you more control
it alternately just makes your handwriting just a little bit better
which does improve your handwriting
now if you have already good handwriting or if you've perfected your writing
on the S pen
on the galaxy note 2
then it probably will not make a difference
there are two different modes for handwriting
recognition
one is called stroke recognition
where it types out
while you're writing
the handwriting gestures do not work here
but with that said there are three different
general gestures that work on both
stroke recognition and complete recognition
one is space
one is backspace
you could erase with that and one is enter
it is important to point out that the general gestures for space and backspace
do not work
when you have anything written on the screen for example
you can't do that to erase 'o'
or you can't do this to write a space
but you could
use the enter
even though that sophisticated handwriting gestures don't work in
stroke recognition
you can just right over it
you can make small corrections
i wanted to change Hat to Hot
let's switch over to complete recognition to look at the sophisticated handwriting
gestures
you could see that there's even a gesture guide so let's look at that
you could right over letters
you could cross out entire words or a couple of characters
it could delete one single character
add pieces two different ways or delete spaces and just take a note of
this you could see that the
Enter
gesture is different for complete recognition
it lets you finish a word when you have something written
that's selected you can do this
and remember the Enter gesture
just completes the word
and you could do that again to add character returns
you could see that the back
space works as well
let's test out the handwriting gestures
let's delet a couple of characters
delet a single character
let's completely replace the name
let's add space
let's join this
remove space
it all seems to work very well
i wrote
these words in a little bit different size so that you could see that
the smaller you write the smaller is going to
print out on here
when you're done writing just do this motion
you could do one more motion of that to add character returns
I also wanna quickly show you that it could do cursive
and
I just wanna show you second language
you could also create free-floating text boxes
with handwriting recognition so if you want to place some text here you could just writing
there
you click on add text box
you could also choose
toggle between languages by tapping on that
we could do it a long presse to add different languages that you have been
installed
so we could start writing anywhere where you want to create text
but you'll see that none of the gestures work
space
enter
their all access stop here
my apologies for that the last time i used cursive was in sixth grade
