Adding Handwritten Notes to a Page
 
If you have a tablet you can use the stylus to write words on a Notebook page, which NoteBook converts to text using the “InkWell” technology built into OS X.  You cannot use InkWell without a tablet.
 
 
Writing on a Page

To begin writing on a page, switch to Write mode using the Ink toolbar item.  

As you write words, NoteBook periodically adds bubbles with the text interpretations of what you’ve written - click a bubble to see InkWell’s list of likely interpretations .

Choose an alternate interpretation from the list, or Edit for a sheet where you can type your own text or rewrite the word using the stylus.



To rewrite using the stylus, just start writing anywhere on the screen.  As you write, a yellow “writing pad” will appear beneath your strokes .  When you stop writing, OS X will fill the edit field with its interpretation of what you’ve written.  You can also use InkWell gestures to make corrections (you cannot use InkWell gestures when you’re writing on a Notebook page).

By default, NoteBook displays text interpretation bubbles whenever it converts your writing to text. Choose Show Text Interpretations in the Ink toolbar item to hide the interpretation bubbles.
