WRITEit for Windows

Quick overview

If you have a Lenovo device with touch support, you can add WriteIt to turn the screen into an interactive notepad. Instead of relying only on the keyboard, WriteIt lets you write or draw directly on the display using a finger or a compatible Lenovo pen. It’s useful for jotting notes, annotating documents, or sketching ideas in any app or text field.

How the tool functions

WriteIt is a Lenovo productivity utility that replaces some mouse and keyboard actions with touch and pen gestures. Key behaviors include:

• Recognizing handwriting and converting it into typed text automatically.
• Letting you draw, highlight, or annotate anywhere on the system — across apps, documents, and input fields.
• Allowing you to save your inked work as images for sharing or presentation purposes.

A tap with a finger or input from a supported stylus activates the drawing area. When WriteIt interprets your handwriting, it also offers a list of alternate word candidates so you can pick the correct transcription if the first guess is wrong.

Writing experience and accuracy

Using a touchscreen for handwriting can feel unfamiliar at first, and strokes may look uneven while you adapt. WriteIt addresses this by providing handwriting recognition that smooths and converts your input into text. In most cases it deciphers legible handwriting successfully; only completely illegible writing will cause frequent mistakes.

Performance notes

Overall, WriteIt runs smoothly and reliably. The main limitation is the learning curve of writing on glass, which can affect penmanship. Aside from that, its recognition engine is the central strength and tends to be accurate for typical handwriting styles.

Personalization and extra controls

The app includes several settings to tailor the experience:

• Choose whether you are left- or right-handed so the interface adjusts to your comfort.
• Toggle features such as automatic handwriting conversion, ink gestures, and image insertion on or off.
• Select from multiple pen colors and widths, pick highlighter shades, and use an eraser or blank canvases for free drawing.

These options make it easier to incorporate handwriting into everyday tasks, improving both accessibility and productivity.

Getting started

Install WriteIt on your Lenovo touchscreen device, open any text field or canvas, and begin writing with your finger or pen. If needed, review the candidate words suggested by the app to correct any recognition errors, and save or export your ink as an image when you want to share or present your work.
