Snap Type Pro

SnapType Pro: Getting Started

• Click on the SnapType Pro app to open and select New Document then Camera.

• Place a worksheet, school assignment on a flat surface and snap a photo of it (Note: if you want the completed document to appear in a upright vertical position when it is sent to Google Drive, make sure you hold the device in a vertical position with the Capture button at the bottom of the screen and the Home button located below. If it does not do this automatically when holding the iPad in the vertical position, use both of your hands to rotate the iPad in either direction until you see the Capture button at the bottom with the Home button below it).

• Once the photo is taken and you are satisfied with your photo, tap on the checkmark located on the  bottom right corner of the screen (To delete a photo, tap on the X mark located on the bottom left corner of the screen and take another photo. Photos can be cropped by selecting the crop icon in the center at the bottom of the screen).

• Once the checkmark is selected, you will be prompted to name the document. After naming the document, click on the Add button. The document will be added to the list of documents you might have already added and your new document will appear at the bottom of the list with the date and time of when it was added located below it.

Working On a Document

• To work on a document, tap on it to open. Add text to the worksheet or classroom assignment, by  tapping on the screen where you want your answer to be. This will cause the keyboard to open up  and use, allowing you to  type in your answers. You can also dictate your answer by selecting the microphone on the keyboard (located at the bottom of the keyboard) and whatever you voice will be inserted as text into the document.

NOTE:  To be able to use the microphone, you need to be connected to the internet. If the microphone is grayed out, it means it is not activated. To activate, go into your iPad Settings, tap on Wi-Fi, Edmonds, type in your district user name and password, and  select "Trust".

• To change the size of typed or dictated text, hold your finger down on the  circle guide at the top of the screen and slide either left or right to increase or decrease the size of the text.

• To move or re-position text you have typed or dictated, first tap on the "hide keyboard" icon located on the bottom right-hand side of the keyboard to close it. Then place and hold your  finger down on the yellow text box you want to move while you drag it to wherever you want it to be positioned.

• To quickly delete a typed text box, by tapping and holding your finger down on it for 2 seconds,  a large red line will encircle the text. Once it is completely encircled by the red line, the typed text box will disappear. Warning: there is no "undo" so you cannot reverse this process.

• If a worksheet requires marking it up versus typing in an answer, by tapping on the pencil icon located at the top right-hand side of the screen, you can now use your finger to circle, cross out, draw lines from one object to another, or mark-up items. To erase a line you have drawn, tap on the left directional curved arrow located at the top of the screen. Each time the arrow is tapped, another line will be erased. To undo an erasure, tap on the right directional curved arrow. To go back to the screen where you can use typing and dictation, tap the A located at the top right hand side of the screen.

Main Menu Features:  Folders and Documents

• Folders can be created on the main menu page by clicking on, New Folder, naming it, and then tapping on Add. To add a document listed on the main menu to a folder that has been created, click on the three horizontal circle icon ¡¡¡ located on the right-most side of the document you want to move into a folder. The screen will open up to a list of your folders. Click on the folder you want to move the document into and at the bottom right-side of the next screen, tap on "Move Here".

• By clicking on the three horizontal circle icon to the right of any document, you can delete, share, or duplicate the document or edit details (name, rotation, filter).

• Documents can be shared or printed from the main menu screen in several ways, one of which way  is by tapping on the three horizontal circle icon located at the top right-hand corner of the screen, tapping on the square box (a checkmark will appear when you tap on it)  to the right of the document you want to share or print, and then the Share icon at the top of the screen. In most cases  you will want to  select "PDF" to either send to your Google Drive, e-mail, or print.
