You can now write by hand on the digital whiteboard and instantly convert it to typed text. Our new handwriting recognition feature makes it easy to capture ideas, labels, and notes—without switching tools or retyping.

How it works

With handwriting recognition, your handwritten words on the whiteboard are transformed into clean, typed text. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Write naturally – Use your finger or stylus to write directly on the board.

  • Tap to convert – Finished writing? Tap the T icon to convert your handwriting into typed text.

  • Flexible placement – Move and resize the converted text just like any other object.

It’s fast, intuitive, and built right into the tools you already use.

Why this is helpful

Handwriting recognition speeds up classroom activities and keeps your board organized. It helps you:

  • Save time during lessons

  • Keep notes readable and consistent

  • Encourage student participation without worrying about messy handwriting

Practical classroom examples

Create labels in a flash
Label diagrams, maps, or parts of speech by writing on the board. The text converts immediately, helping students follow along with a clear, tidy layout.

Capture student ideas during brainstorms
Write down student suggestions during a brainstorm session. Their ideas stay visible and legible, making it easy to build on them throughout the lesson.

Designed for interactive teaching

This feature works seamlessly with your interactive whiteboard. It’s perfect for on-the-fly explanations, annotations, and activities that include student input. You write, Gynzy types—so you can keep your lesson moving.
