pausing it or interfering with the video’s interctivity. You can highlight content on your screen.
You can move, copy and paste and erase your digital ink notes or convert them to text. You can
also capture notes as an image and save the image in a SMART software file.

About other SMART software
SMARTInk and SMARTProductDrivers are included with SMARTNotebook® collaborative
learning software.
SMARTProductDrivers
SMARTProductDrivers enables your computer to detect input from SMART interactive products.
SMARTInk works with SMARTProductDrivers to enable you to write on the screen with your
SMART interactive product’s pens using the drawing tools in the SMARTInk dynamic toolbar.
SMARTNotebook software
You can write in SMARTNotebook software with your SMART interactive product’s pens using the
drawing tools in the SMARTInk dynamic toolbar, and the digital ink becomes part of your
SMARTNotebook file.
What’s new in SMARTInk 3.1
SMARTInk 3.1 includes a number of new and enhanced features.
Dynamic toolbar improvements
SMARTInk 3.0 introduced a new dynamic toolbar for selecting pen options when writing or
drawing in digital ink. For most SMART interactive products, the dynamic toolbar appears when
you pick up one of the SMART interactive product’s pens and disappears when you return the pen.
You can use the dynamic toolbar with any application on your computer, including SMART
software.
In SMARTInk 3.1, the dynamic toolbar appears as a circle rather than a horizontal bar when it’s
minimized:
SMARTInk 3.0
SMARTInk 3.1
In addition, you can dock the dynamic toolbar to the left or right edge of the screen, close it by
pushing it off of the screen and pin palettes so they remain open while you write or draw or
complete other tasks.
For more information, see About the dynamic toolbar on page6.
CHAPTER 1
WELCOME

SMARTInk window tools
When you write or draw in a window, a SMARTInk window tools button appears in the window’s
top-right corner. You can use this button to do the following:
l Clear all digital ink from the window (see Clearing all digital ink from a window on page21)
l Save the digital ink by taking a screen capture (see Saving digital ink on page22)
l Turn off SMARTInk for the window or for the application (see Turning off SMARTInk on
page27)
SMARTInk FavoritePens
If you frequently write or draw in the same color, width and style of digital ink, you can save those
properties as a favorite pen.
For more information, see Using SMARTInk FavoritePens on page24.
NOTE
SMARTInk FavoritePens are available only if SMARTNotebook software is installed on your
computer.
SMARTTouch InkingTool
If your computer is connected to a SMART interactive product that supports touch recognition, you
can use the SMARTTouch InkingTool to write or draw with your finger or an accessibility aid, such
as a tennis ball.
For more information, see About the SMARTTouch InkingTool on page12.
NOTE
The SMARTTouch InkingTool is available only if SMARTNotebook software is installed on your
computer.
Other resources
For more information about SMARTInk and the other SMART software on your computer, refer to
the SMART software Help. The SMART software Help includes all the information in this guide. You
can view the Help on your SMART interactive product or on a mobile device.
To open SMART software Help, press the SMARTBoard icon in the Mac menu bar, and then
