Step 16Using EyeWriter Software - Drawing
LETTER DRAWING
- Drawing mode starts paused by default. Before you start drawing, you can toggle the background grid on or off. The background grid can be toggled at any time by pausing.
- To start drawing, switch to recording mode by staring at the paused button. As you stare, the button will turn green and switch to recording .
- Drawing works with vector points. Stare at a place on the canvas for about a second to make a point. Your green eye-tracking circle needs to stay very still to make a point.
- As you add points, they will stay connected by a stroke. You can create shapes and letters with these strokes. To make a new line, stare at the next stroke button.
- To change what you are drawing, you can undo point which removes the last point drawn, or undo stroke which removes the entire last stroke drawn.
- To save the current shape or letter and move on to the next one, stare at next letter . Your recently drawn letter will appear at the top of the screen, and you have a new blank canvas to draw a new letter on.
- When you are finished drawing shapes and letters, stare at NEXT MODE to move on to Positioning mode.
- By default, all your letters are selected and ready for positioning. You can select individual letters by staring at Select Letter .
- Select Rotate allows you to rotate your selection right (clockwise) and left (counter-clockwise).
- Select Shift allows you to move your selection up, down, left and right.
- Select Zoom allows you to zoom out and zoom in which shrinks and enlarges your selection.
- Auto Place will place your letters side by side in the order you drew them.
- When you are finished positioning your shapes and letters, stare at NEXT MODE to move on to Effects mode.

one thing we really want to add is predictive text, this would allow for fast typing assisted by word choices as you type -- many commercial systems use this.
