Toolbar

Special signs

The built in special characters helps to find words that are difficult to spell. You can use the special character “*” by tapping it from the toolbar.

* Stands for one or more characters.

If you for example only know that the word “interested” starts with “in” and end with “d” you can write “in * d”, and then the predictive text automatically find all words that start with “in” and ends on “d”.

You can also make use of the special character “?” – This is not in the toolbar, but have to be written with the keyboard in AppWriter.

? stands for one character.

If, for example, you want to write “car”, but do not know if it starts with “k” or “c”, you can use the ? Character as you type “?ar”, and then the program will find all words containing an initial letter followed by “ar”.

Change language

You can easily switch between installed languages by clicking on the flag in the toolbar.

When you click on the flag you can choose between the languages you have installed, or install new language. You can see which languages are active or downloaded, or download new ones.

When you change the language, both the word prediction and the reading change to the selected language.
