Text Recognition

The recognition should be triggered, either automatically or by invoking an action. In the TEXT RECOGNITION section you have the following options:

Trigger when idle: you can set a timer that will trigger recognition automatically X seconds after the user stopped writing on the Doodle screen or impression board. For example if you set this to 5 seconds, and the user writes a word, text recognition will automatically happen 5 seconds after they stop writing.

Trigger when face down: if you’re on the in-app Doodle screen, and you turn the phone face down, text recognition will be triggered. Use this option if you give your phone to the spectator to write something, then they should put the phone face down so you can’t see their writing.

Trigger when top covered: text recognition will happen when you cover the top portion of the phone (if the phone has a proximity sensor). Use this option if you give your phone to the spectator to write something, then they should hold the phone close to their chest to cover it.

Trigger when BLUE selected: if you’re on the Doodle screen, and you select the BLUE color, then text recognition will start. For example you can ask your spectator to write a word, then draw something in blue color… (or give them any other reason to select the BLUE color).

There is also a “Trigger text recognition” action which can be assigned to PeekSmith buttons, PeekSmith 3 movements or magnet sensor events, Atom remote buttons, Apple Watch screen taps or swipes, WearOS watch screen taps or volume button presses. Check out the ACTION CONTROL section in the settings to see available actions.
