When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Block Recognizer, with Block Recognizer open, tap the question mark next to the writing area.
Writing on the Screen
In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you've written and convert the information to text at a later time.
To write on the screen:
- Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.


Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.
To select writing:
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
- Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears.
- Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen.
You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
To convert writing to text:
• Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

Select the text you want to convert and tap Recognize on the pop-up menu.

The writing is turned into text.
If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tips for achieving better word recognition:
- Write neatly.
- Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
- For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.
- Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
- Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
- If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
- Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.
To select a drawing:
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.
- Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.
You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the popup menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.
Recording a Message
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.
To create a recording:
- Hold your device's microphone near your mouth or other source of sound.
- Press and hold the Record hardware button on your device until you hear a beep.
- While holding down the Record button, make your recording.
- To stop recording, release the Record button. Two beeps will sound. The new recording appears in the note list or as an embedded icon.

Chapter 3:
Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
- Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
- Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
- Back up and restore your device data.
- Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
- Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.
- Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your PC from the Toshiba Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on your device.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your Pocket PC to your PC, set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your computer, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your device. You'll notice that information you've stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you didn't have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your PC and you're ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your device. To switch to ActiveSync on your device, tap 📋, and then tap ActiveSync.
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on your PC, and then see ActiveSync Help.
For more information about ActiveSync on your device, switch to ActiveSync, tap 📄, and then tap Help.


Chapter 4:
Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft® Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync ^® you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your device. You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your device and computer or server and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the computer.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the menu.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
- Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
During synchronization:
- Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past five days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
- E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
- E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer in order to be transferred.
Using the Message List
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
Select the service and folder you want to display.

When you receive a message, tap it to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your computer, by default, you'll receive messages from the last five days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:
- Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
- Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your device. Tap Tools and then tap Options. On the Service tab, tap the service you want to change. Tap and hold the service and select Delete to remove a service.
Composing Messages
To compose a message:
- Tap New.
- In the To field, enter an e-mail or SMS address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the Address Book button. All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book.
Tap to send the message.


- Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message.
- Tap Send when you've finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect. If you are working online, it is sent immediately.
If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it was received, tap Edit, Options, and select Request SMS text message delivery notification before sending the message.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
- If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your computer.
- If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
- If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.
- If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
