The document discusses several features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 stylus (S Pen): 1) The handwriting to text recognition has been improved and supports multiple languages. 2) Quick Commands allows launching apps by drawing symbols with the S Pen. 3) The S Pen Keeper feature notifies the user if they walk away without the S Pen. 4) Screenshots can be taken by pressing and holding the S Pen button on an area of the screen.

1. Get even more out of your Samsung
Galaxy Note 2

2. Handwriting to text
● Built into the Samsung
keyboard, the handwriting to
text recognition software on the
Note 2 has received a
significant upgrade over its
predecessor. Using S Pen in the
midst of typing and the
keyboard area show you a little
box for you to write on. The
recognition accuracy is
remarkable and apart from
English, languages such as
Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese
is supported as well.

3. Launch virtually anything with Quick
Commands
● One of the more useful yet
often overlooked feature has
got to be quick commands,
which allows users to launch
any app on the Note 2 with S
Pen itself. Users just need to
hold the stylus button and
swipe up on the screen, and the
Quick commands box will pop-
up. You can then scribble one
of the many pre-programmed
symbols to quickly launch an
app or create your own
shortcut.

4. Keep the S Pen close
● As with any devices with a
stylus, the S Pen is something
that’s often easy to lose. To
address this issue, Samsung
implemented a feature called
the S Pen keeper. Utilising the
accelerometer and the digitiser
sensor of the Note 2, the phone
will notify you through beeps if
it detects that you're walking
away without the S Pen.

5. Taking screenshots with the S Pen
● Back in previous Samsung
smartphones, taking snapshots
involved holding several buttons at
once, which is as crude as it
sounds. Newer devices like the
Samsung Galaxy S III implemented
a swipe across screen gesture
which does the same thing, but
even that isn’t refined. The
introduction of S Pen means you
can accomplish the same task in a
more elegant manner. Simply press
the stylus button on the S Pen on
hold it on the screen to grab a
screenshot. If you would just prefer
a particular area, just hold down
the stylus button and draw a shape
over your desired portion.

6. Scribble on whatever
● Complementing the screenshot
feature, you are now able to
edit the image before you
choose to save it. For example
you can jot down notes on the
particular screenshot and then
import it over to the S Note
application for further editing.

7. A helping hand for left-handers
●
Despite the fact that the
Galaxy Note 2 was designed
for righties in mind, the less
fortunate lefties aren’t left
out, as there is a setting to
compensate for their
peculiar way of writing too.
