Keyboard Input- This is a conventional keyboard displayed on the screen. The keys are small, and the method is slow, but it is easy to learn and very accurate.

Transcriber- The Transcriber is the most natural of the four input methods. Just write your words anywhere on the screen using any combination of cursive and block letters. The program translates your writing into letters in the text box. This method is fast and easy to use, but not very accurate. If your handwriting is neat, this may be a good option for you. The computer can learn your writing style after a while, so prediction becomes better with use.

Block Recognizer- Block Recognizer is similar to the interface used on Palm™ machines. Short keystrokes, called “graffiti” style of writing, produce letters.

Letter recognizer- Very fast and simple to use, this interface is quite natural and easy to master. Similar to the block recognizer, the user spells lower case letters in the left and middle areas (those on the left area are converted to capital letters) while the rightmost area is used for numbers and symbols. This method is very easy to use and might be the fastest method for entering type on the machine.

Full Screen Keyboard – Cyrano² includes a full screen keyboard from Spb Software House. You can select this as your default entry method, attach it as an option to another entry method, or start it using the button on the screen.
Another great feature of this keyboard is the ability to download skins, and even change the layout. For more information on how to use and customize the full screen keyboard, please visit the Spb site at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com

Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard - For even greater accuracy and speed, we offer a bluetooth wireless keyboard. It is only 5.7 x 3.87 x 0.76 inches when it is folded, weighs 6.5 oz, and is easily portable. Simply start both machines, and they connect automatically. Type whatever you want, press the ENTER key, and Cyrano will speak your phrase using your selected voice personality.
